Abu Wail reported: One day we went to Abdullah Bin Masud after we had observed the dawn prayer and we paid salutation at the door. He permitted us to enter; but we stayed for a while at the door; when the slave-girl came out and said: Why dont you come in? So we went in and we found Abdullah Bin Masud sitting and glorifying Allah i. e. he was busy in dhikr and he said: What obstructed you from coming in though you had been granted permission for it? We said: There was nothing behind it but we entertained the idea that some inmate of the house might be sleeping. He said: Do you presume any idleness on the part of the family of Ibn Umm Abd the mother of Abdullah Bin Masud ? He was again busy with the glorification of Allah till he thought that the sun had risen. He said: Girl; see whether the sun has arisen. She glanced but it had not risen by that time. He was again busy with the glorification of Allah and he again thought that the sun had arisen. She glanced and confirmed that; it had risen. Upon this he Abdullah Bin Masud said: Praise be to Allah Who did not call us to account for our sins today. Mahdi said: I think that he said; He did not destroy us for our sins. One among the people said: I recited all the mufassal surahs during the night. Abdullah said: You must have recited them like the recitation of poetry. I heard the Holy Prophet combining the sarahs and I remember the combinations which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made In the recitation of surahs. These were constituted of eighteen mufassal surahs and two surahs commencing with Ha-Mim.
