Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I entered the mosque with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) at night, and a man was reciting loudly. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, is this showing off?" He replied, "No, rather he is a believer turning to Allah." Abu Musa al-Ash'ari then recited loudly, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) listened to his recitation. Later, Abu Musa supplicated, "O Allah, I bear witness that You are Allah, there is no deity except You, the One, the Eternal, who neither begets nor is begotten, nor is there any equal to Him." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He has asked Allah by His Name, for when He is asked by it, He gives, and when supplicated by it, He answers." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, should I inform him of what I heard from you?" He said, "Yes." So I told him, and he said to me, "Today, you are a beloved brother to me for narrating to me the words of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)."
