وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ:
مَا أَرَى رَجُلًا أَعْلَمَ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ مِنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ. فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى ؓ: لَئِنْ قُلْتَ ذَاكَ، لَقَدْ كَانَ يَسْمَعُ حِينَ لَا يُسْمَعُ، وَيَدْخُلُ حَيْثُ لَا نَدْخُلُ ؓ
