اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَازِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُحِبُّهُ أَلَيْسَ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ قَدْ مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُحِبُّكَ وَقَدِ اسْتَعْمَلَكَ فَقَالَ قَدِ اسْتَعْمَلَنِي فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي أَحُبًّا كَانَ لِي مِنْهُ أَمِ اسْتِعَانَةً بِي وَلَكِنْ سَأُحَدِّثُكَ بِرَجُلَيْنِ مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُحِبُّهُمَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا
It is narrated from Hasan Basri that a man said to Sayyiduna Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with him): What is your opinion about the person whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) loved throughout his life—would he not be a righteous man? He replied: Why not. So the man said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from this world, he had appointed you as his governor. Sayyiduna Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He did appoint me as governor, but by Allah! I do not know whether he appointed me because of his love for me or to seek my help. However, I will tell you that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from this world, he loved two men: one was Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and the other was Sayyiduna Ammar ibn Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Mas'ud radi Allahu anhu was a member of the Banu Hudhayl tribe. He entered the fold of Islam even before Sayyiduna Umar radi Allahu anhu. He was blessed with the honor of migrating first to Abyssinia and later to Madinah Munawwarah. He participated in the battles of Badr, Uhud, Khandaq, the Pledge of Ridwan, and other occasions. He spent most of his time in the service of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He was counted among the major and learned Companions (Sahabah) radi Allahu anhum. According to one opinion, he passed away in the year 32 Hijri in Kufah, and according to another opinion, in Madinah Munawwarah. At that time, his age was sixty-four or sixty-five years.
Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Mas'ud radi Allahu anhu was a great scholar and expert of the Noble Qur'an. He himself says: "By Allah, I know regarding every single surah of the Noble Qur'an when and where it was revealed. If I were to know that someone possesses more knowledge of the Book of Allah than me, and camels could reach him, I would travel to that person and acquire knowledge from him."
