Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34405 — Reports on Abdullah bin Masud

Tamim bin Hadhlam (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I have sat in the gatherings of many Companions of Muhammad (may Allah be pleased with them), of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and I have not seen anyone more turning away from the world and more desirous of the Hereafter than Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). And, O Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), nor have I seen anyone in whose state I would more love to be on the Day of Resurrection than you (may Allah be pleased with him).
