Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5291 — he said: I was not kept back on three
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ لَا أُحْجَبُ عَنْ ثَلَاثٍ - أَوْ لَا أُحْبَسُ عَنْ ثَلَاثٍ - عَنِ النَّجْوَى ، وَعَنْ كَذَا ، وَعَنْ كَذَا ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ : نَسِيَ عَمِّي وَاحِدَةً ، وَنَسِيتُ أَنَا الْأُخْرَى وَبَقِيَتْ هَذِهِ ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَعِنْدَهُ مَالِكٌ الرَّهَاوِيُّ فَأَدْرَكْتُ مِنْ آخِرِ حَدِيثِهِمْ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنِّي امْرُؤٌ قُسِمَ لِي مِنَ الْجَمَالِ مَا تَرَى ، فَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ أَحَدًا فَضَلَنِي بِشِرَاكَيْنِ فَمَا فَوْقَهُمَا ، أَفَمِنَ الْبَغْيِ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ : لَا ، وَلَكِنَّ الْبَغْيَ مَنْ سَفِهَ الْحَقَّ ، وَغَمَصَ النَّاسَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I was not kept back on three occasions (from attending upon the Prophet) - or he said, I was not prevented -: from the gathering of private and confidential talk, and from such-and-such, and from such-and-such." (The narrator) Abdullah says: My uncle forgot one thing and I forgot another, but this incident remained in memory. (Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said:) I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and Sayyiduna Malik al-Rahawi (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting with him. I caught the last part of their conversation; he was saying: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I am a man to whom Allah Almighty has given the beauty that you see, so I do not like anyone to surpass me even to the extent of two sandal straps or more. Is this attitude counted as transgression and arrogance?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No; rather, real transgression is that a person belittles the truth and regards people as lowly and contemptible."
