حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَهَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ ذَكَرُوا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فَقَالَ ذَاكَ رَجُلٌ لَا أَزَالُ أُحِبُّهُ بَعْدَمَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ اسْتَقْرِئُوا الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ مِنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَسَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَأُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far and Hashim ibn al-Qasim said: Shu'bah narrated from Amr ibn Murrah from Ibrahim from Masruq who said: They mentioned Ibn Mas'ud in the presence of Abdullah ibn Amr. He said: "That is a man whom I have not ceased to love since I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying: 'Learn the Quran from four people: from Ibn Mas'ud, Salim the freed slave of Abu Hudhayfah, Ubayy ibn Ka'b, and Mu'adh ibn Jabal.'"
