Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Ever since I heard this statement from the blessed tongue of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I have always loved Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Learn the recitation of the Qur’an from four people: Abdullah bin Mas’ud, Salim the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifah, Mu’adh bin Jabal, and Ubayy bin Ka’b.”
