(8) Chapter. (What is said regarding) the Qurra (the reciters of the Quran by heart) from among the Companions of the Prophet.

English narration

Narrated by عبد الله بن مسعود

Once `Abdullah bin Mas`ud delivered a sermon before us and said, "By Allah, I learnt over seventy Suras direct from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . By Allah, the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) came to know that I am one of those who know Allah's Book best of all of them, yet I am not the best of them." Shaqiq added I sat in his religious gathering and I did not hear anybody opposing him (in his speech).

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَقِيقُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : "

خَطَبَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَقَالَ : وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَخَذْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِضْعًا وَسَبْعِينَ سُورَةً ، وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنِّي مِنْ أَعْلَمِهِمْ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَمَا أَنَا بِخَيْرِهِمْ

" . قَالَ شَقِيقٌ : فَجَلَسْتُ فِي الْحِلَقِ أَسْمَعُ مَا يَقُولُونَ ، فَمَا سَمِعْتُ رَادًّا ، يَقُولُ : غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ .
