حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الْبُخَارِيُّ قَالَ: نَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ قَالَ: نَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو النَّصِيبِيُّ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ النَّصِيبِيِّ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ:
قِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّكَ قَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ الثَّنَاءَ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؟ قَالَ: وَمَا يَمْنَعُنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ، وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ عَنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ: عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، وَسَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ، وَأُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، وَمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ " ؟ ثُمَّ قَالَ: " لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَبْعَثَهُمْ إِلَى الْأُمَمِ كَمَا بَعَثَ عِيسَى الْحَوَارِيِّينَ "، قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَفَلَا تَبْعَثُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرَ فَهُمَا أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ: " إِنَّهُ لَا غِنًى بِي عَنْهُمَا، إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ هَذَا الدِّينِ بِمَنْزِلَةِ السَّمْعِ وَالْبَصَرِ مِنَ الرَّأْسِ

✧ It was said to him: 'You have spoken well of Abdullah b. Masud?' He said: 'What prevents me from that, when I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: "Learn the Quran from four: from Abdullah b. Masud, Salim the freed slave of Abu Hudhayfa, Ubayy b. Kab, and Muadh b. Jabal." Then he said: "I have considered sending them to the nations as Jesus sent the disciples." It was said: "O Messenger of God, why not send Abu Bakr and Umar, for they are better?" He said: "I cannot do without them. They are to this religion like hearing and sight are to the head."
