كتاب فضائل الصحابةThe Book of the Merits of the Companions
باب مِنْ فَضَائِلِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَأُمِّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُمَا:Chapter: The Virtues Of 'Abdullah Bin Mas'ud And His Mother (RA)
أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَي بْنُ آدَمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا قُطْبَةُ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ ، مَا مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ سُورَةٌ إِلَّا أَنَا أَعْلَمُ حَيْثُ نَزَلَتْ ، وَمَا مِنْ آيَةٍ إِلَّا أَنَا أَعْلَمُ فِيمَا أُنْزِلَتْ ، وَلَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ مِنِّي ، تَبْلُغُهُ الْإِبِلُ لَرَكِبْتُ إِلَيْهِ "
'Abdullah reported: By Him besides Whom there is no god, there is no chapter in the Book of Allah about which I do not know as to where it was revealed and there is no verse about which I do not know in what context it was revealed, and if I were to know of one having a better understanding of the Book of Allah than I (and I could reach him) on the back of the mule, I would have definitely gone to him on camel's back.

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
From the conduct of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (radi Allahu anhu), it becomes clear that a person may express his knowledge and virtue when there is a need or purpose for it.
However, to do so without necessity, or for the sake of self-aggrandizement and pride, is not permissible.
