حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَقِيقُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : " خَطَبَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَقَالَ : وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَخَذْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِضْعًا وَسَبْعِينَ سُورَةً ، وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنِّي مِنْ أَعْلَمِهِمْ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَمَا أَنَا بِخَيْرِهِمْ " . قَالَ شَقِيقٌ : فَجَلَسْتُ فِي الْحِلَقِ أَسْمَعُ مَا يَقُولُونَ ، فَمَا سَمِعْتُ رَادًّا ، يَقُولُ : غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ .
Narrated Shaqiq bin Salama: Once `Abdullah bin Mas`ud delivered a sermon before us and said, "By Allah, I learnt over seventy Suras direct from Allah's Apostle . By Allah, the companions of the Prophet came to know that I am one of those who know Allah's Book best of all of them, yet I am not the best of them." Shaqiq added: I sat in his religious gathering and I did not hear anybody opposing him (in his speech).
