عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ:
لَوْ قِيلَ لِأَحَدِكُمْ: لَوْ غَدَوْتَ إِلَى الْقَرْيَةِ كَانَ لَكَ أَرْبَعُ قَلَائِصَ، لَبَاتَ يَقُولُ: قَدْ آنَ لِي أَنْ أَغْدُوَ، فَلَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ غَدَا فَتَعَلَّمَ آيَةً مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ لَكَانَتْ خَيْرًا لَهُ مِنْ أَرْبَعٍ وَأَرْبَعٍ وَأَرْبَعٍ حَتَّى عَدَّ شَيْئًا كَثِيرًا. قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ أَنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ خَرَجَ أَتَاهُ النَّاسُ إِلَى دَارِهِ فَيَقُولُ: " عَلَى مَكَانِكُمْ "، ثُمَّ يَمُرُّ بِالَّذِينَ يُقْرِئُهُمُ الْقُرْآنَ، فَيَقُولُ: " يَا فُلَانُ بِأَيِّ سُورَةٍ أَنْتَ ؟ " فَيُخْبِرُونَهُ، فَيَقُولُ: " بِأَيِّ آيَةٍ فَيَفْتَحُ عَلَيْهِ الْآيَةَ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: تَعَلَّمْهَا فَإِنَّهَا خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِمَّا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ " قَالَ: فَيَظُنُّ الرَّجُلُ أَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ فِي الْقُرْآنِ آيَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْهَا، ثُمَّ يَمُرُّ بِالْآخَرِ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، حَتَّى يَقُولَ لِذَلِكَ كُلِّهِمْ
Translation
✧ If it were said to one of you: 'If you go early to the village, you will have four young camels,' he would spend the night saying: 'It is time for me to go early.' If one of you were to go early and learn a verse from the Book of Allah, it would be better for him than four and four and four, until he counted many things. Abu Ishaq said: And Abu 'Ubaydah informed me that when Ibn Mas'ud woke up in the morning and went out, people came to his house, and he would say: 'Stay where you are.' Then he would pass by those whom he was teaching the Qur'an and say: 'O so-and-so, which surah are you on?' They would tell him, and he would say: 'Which verse?' and he would prompt him with the following verse, then say: 'Learn it, for it is better for you than what is between the heaven and the earth.' He said: So the man would think that there is no verse in the Qur'an better than it. Then he would pass by another and say the same to him, until he had said that to all of them.
