حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ کُنَّا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فَذَکَرْنَا حَدِيثًا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ ذَاکَ الرَّجُلَ لَا أَزَالُ أُحِبُّهُ بَعْدَ شَيْئٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُهُ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ اقْرَئُوا الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةِ نَفَرٍ مِنْ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ فَبَدَأَ بِهِ وَمِنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ کَعْبٍ وَمِنْ سَالِمٍ مَوْلَی أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَمِنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ وَحَرْفٌ لَمْ يَذْکُرْهُ زُهَيْرٌ قَوْلُهُ يَقُولُهُ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 6335
Masruq reported: We were in the company of Abdullah b 'Amr that we made a mention of a hadith from Abdullah b. Mas'ud; thereupon he said: That is a person whose love ever remains (fresh in my heart) after I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Learn Qur'an from four persons: Ibn Umm 'Abd, i e. Abdullah b. Mas'ud and he started from his name-then Ubayy b. Ka'b and Mu'adh b Jabal. Zuhri did not make a mention of the words yaquluhu in his narration
