Sunan Abu Dawud
Abu DawudHadith #3978: Hasan

حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ الْعَوْفِيِّ، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ‏{‏ اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ ضَعْفٍ ‏}‏ فَقَالَ ‏{‏ مِنْ ضُعْفٍ ‏}‏ قَرَأْتُهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَمَا قَرَأْتَهَا عَلَىَّ فَأَخَذَ عَلَىَّ كَمَا أَخَذْتُ عَلَيْكَ ‏.‏

English Meaning

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: Atiyyah ibn Sa'd al-Awfi said: I recited to Abdullah ibn Umar the verse: "It is Allah Who created you in a state of (helplessness) weakness (min da'f)." He said: (Read) min du'f. I recited it to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as you recited it to me, and he gripped me as I gripped you
