Hadith 3762

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْنَا حُذَيْفَةَ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَرِيبِ السَّمْتِ وَالْهَدْيِ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى نَأْخُذَ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ : " مَا أَعْرِفُ أَحَدًا أَقْرَبَ سَمْتًا وَهَدْيًا وَدَلًّا بِالنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ " .
Narrated `Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid: We asked Hudhaifa to tell us of a person resembling (to some extent) the Prophet in good appearance and straight forward behavior so that we may learn from him (good manners and acceptable conduct). Hudhaifa replied, "I do not know anybody resembling the Prophet (to some extent) in appearance and conduct more than Ibn Um `Abd.

Hadith Commentary:
The character and habits of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud radi Allahu anhu prominently reflected the morals and conduct of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He was very close to the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam; thus, in Jami' al-Tirmidhi, there are additional words stating that the noble Companions radi Allahu anhum of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam were well aware that, in terms of worship of Allah, Abdullah ibn Mas'ud radi Allahu anhu held a position of great closeness.
