Musnad Ahmad 1302:42

Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, Al-A'mash narrated to us, from Ibrahim, from Alqamah, who said: We arrived in Ash-Sham, and Abu Ad-Darda' came to us and said: "Is there anyone among you who recites according to the recitation of Abdullah?" They pointed to me. He said: I said: "Yes, I am." He said: "How did you hear Abdullah reciting this verse: 'By the night when it covers, and the day when it appears'?" I said: "I heard him reciting: 'By the night when it covers, and the day when it appears, and the male and the female.'" He said: "And I, by Allah, heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, reciting it in this way. Yet these people want me to recite: 'And He who created,' but I will not follow them."
