Mukhtasar Bukhari (Abridged) 1553 — Virtues of Salim, the freed slave

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: “Learn the Qur’an from four persons: Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him)”—he mentioned his name first—“and Salim (may Allah be pleased with him), the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him), and Ubayy bin Ka’b (may Allah be pleased with him), and Mu’adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him).”
