Masruq reported: We used to go toAbdullah bin Amr and talk to him, Ibn Numair said: One day we made a mention of Abdullah bin Masud, whereupon he said: You have made mention of a person whom I love more than anything else. I heard Allahs Messenger ﷺ as saying: Learn Quran from four persons: Ibn Umm Abd (i. e. Abdullah bin Masud) he started from him-then Muadh bin Jabal and Ubayya bin Kab, then Salim the ally of Abu Hudhaifa.
