وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ - قَالَ : أَفَرَسُ النَّاسِ ثَلَاثَةٌ : صَاحِبَةُ مُوسَى الَّتِي قَالَتْ : ( يَاأَبَتِ اسْتَأْجِرْهُ إِنَّ خَيْرَ مَنِ اسْتَأْجَرْتَ الْقَوِيُّ الْأَمِينُ ) ، [ قَالَ : وَمَا رَأَيْتِ مِنْ قُوَّتِهِ ؟ قَالَتْ : جَاءَ إِلَى الْبِئْرِ وَعَلَيْهِ صَخْرَةٌ لَا يُقِلُّهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا ، فَرَفَعَهَا ] قَالَ : وَمَا رَأَيْتِ مِنْ أَمَانَتِهِ ؟ قَالَتْ : كُنْتُ أَمْشِي أَمَامَهُ فَجَعَلَنِي خَلْفَهُ . وَصَاحِبُ يُوسُفَ حِينَ قَالَ : ( أَكْرِمِي مَثْوَاهُ عَسَى أَنْ يَنْفَعَنَا أَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُ وَلَدًا ) . وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ حِينَ اسْتَخْلَفَ عُمَرَ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The people of greatest insight are three: the woman in the account of Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him), who said (as mentioned in the Qur'an in these words): 'O my father! Hire him, for the best one you can hire is the strong and the trustworthy.' Sayyiduna Shu'ayb (peace be upon him) asked: How did you know that he is strong? The woman said: He came to the well, on which a heavy stone had been placed that only so many people together could move, but he lifted it. Sayyiduna Shu'ayb (peace be upon him) asked: And how did you know that he is trustworthy? The woman said: I was walking ahead of him, and he put me behind him. (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The second person of greatest insight) is the man in the account of Sayyiduna Yusuf (peace be upon him), who said (whose words the Qur'an has reported thus): 'Make his stay comfortable; perhaps he will benefit us or we will adopt him as a son.' (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The third person of greatest insight) is Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), who appointed Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) as his successor."
