Hadith 6240
وَعَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ لَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ: الْتَمِسُوا الْعِلْمَ عِنْدَ أَرْبَعَةٍ: عِنْدَ عُوَيْمِرٍ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ وَعِنْدَ سَلْمَانَ وَعِنْدَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَعِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ الَّذِي كَانَ يَهُودِيّا فَأسلم فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّهُ عَاشِرُ عَشَرَةٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
When Mu'adh b. Jabal was on his deathbed he said, "Seek knowledge from four people, front `Uwaimir Abud Darda', from Salman, from Ibn Mas'ud, and from `Abdallah b. Salam who was a Jewish convert to Islam, for I heard God's messenger say he would be the tenth, to enter paradise." Tirmidhi transmitted it.
