فيما حدَّثَناه أبو سهل أحمد بن محمد بن عبد الله بن زياد القَطّان ببغداد، حدثنا أبو عمر أحمد بن عبد الجبار، حدثنا أبو بكر بن عيّاش قال: سمعتُ الأعمشَ يقول: والله لقد سمعتُ الحجّاجَ بن يوسف يقول: يا عَجَبًا من عبدِ هُذيلِ، يَرْعُم أنه يقرأُ قرآنًا من عند الله، والله ما هو إلَّا رَجَزٌ من رَجَزِ الأعراب، والله لو أدركتُ عبدَ هُذيلٍ لضربتُ عنقَه (1). هذا بعد قتلِه عبدَ الله بنَ عمر وعبدَ الله بنَ الزُّبير، يتأسَّفُ على ما فاته من قتلِ عبدِ الله بن مسعود رضي الله عن العبادلة، ولَعَنَ من أبغضَهم وخَذَلَهم. ذكرُ مناقب عبد الله بن عمر بن الخطّاب ﵄
Al-A'mash relates that he heard al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf saying: "I am amazed at the slave of Hudhayl (meaning Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud), who claims that he recites a Qur'an revealed from Allah, whereas, by Allah, it is nothing but rajaz verse of the Bedouins. By Allah, had I found Ibn Mas'ud, I would have struck off his head." (Imam al-Hakim says:) Al-Hajjaj uttered these insolent words after the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them), and he regretted that he could not martyr Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) (because he had died earlier). May Allah Almighty be pleased with all of these Abadilah (the eminent Companions named Abdullah), and may He curse those who hate them or abandon them.

وأخرجه ابن أبي الدنيا في "الإشراف في منازل الأشراف" (63) عن واصل بن عبد الأعلى الأسدي، عن أبي بكر بن عيّاش، عن عاصم بن أبي النجود والأعمش، كلاهما سمع الحجاج يقول ذلك.

قال الذهبي في "تاريخ الإسلام" 2/ 1074 بعد أن أورد هذه الحكاية: قاتل الله الحجاج ما أجرأه على الله، كيف يقول هذا في العبد الصالح عبد الله بن مسعود!

Note / Clarification: May Allah fight al-Hajjaj, how bold he was against Allah! How could he say such a thing about the righteous servant 'Abd Allah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him)?
وقال ابن كثير في "البداية والنهاية" 12/ 533 - 534: هذا من جراءة الحجاج -قبَّحه الله- وإقدامه على الكلام السيئ والدماء الحرام، وإنما نقم على قراءة ابن مسعود ﵁ لكونه خالف القراءةَ على المصحف الإمام الذي جمع الناسَ عليه عثمانُ، والظاهر أنَّ ابن مسعود رجع إلى قول عثمان وموافقته، والله أعلم.
Reference / Source: Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir said in "al-Bidayah wa al-Nihayah" (12/ 533 - 534):
Important point: This is an example of the audacity of al-Hajjaj (may Allah disgrace him), and of his readiness for foul speech and the shedding of unlawful blood. Al-Hajjaj resented the reading of Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) only because it differed from the reading of the "Imam Mushaf" upon which 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) had united the people. What appears to be the case is that Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) later returned to the position of 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and agreed with him. And Allah knows best.
