حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ فِرَاسٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: قُرِئَتْ عِنْدَهُ، أَوْ قَرَأَهَا، {إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا} [النحل: ١٢٠] ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: إِنَّ مُعَاذًا كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا، قَالُوا: يَا أَبَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ، {إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا} [النحل: ١٢٠] ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: وَهَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْأُمَّةُ؟ الَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ الْخَيْرَ، وَالْقَانِتُ: الَّذِي يُطِيعُ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
This verse was recited in the presence of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), or he recited it himself: "Indeed, Ibrahim was an ummah (one combining all good qualities), devoutly obedient to Allah" [Surah al-Nahl: 120]. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Indeed, Mu'adh was an ummah, devoutly obedient to Allah. The people said: O Abu Abd al-Rahman! (The verse is:) "Indeed, Ibrahim was an ummah, devoutly obedient to Allah." Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Do you know what an ummah is? It is the one who teaches people goodness. And the qanit is the one who obeys Allah and His Messenger.
