ʿAbdullah (bin Masʿud) was mentioned before ʿAbdullah bin ʿAmr. The latter said, "That is a man I continue to love because I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, ' Learn the recitation of the Qur'an from (any of these) four persons: ʿAbdullah bin Masud, Salim the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifa, Ubai bin Kaʿb, and Muʿadh bin Jabal." I do not remember whether he mentioned Ubai first or Muʿadh.

ذَاكَ رَجُلٌ لاَ أَزَالُ أُحِبُّهُ بَعْدَ مَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اسْتَقْرِئُوا الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَبَدَأَ بِهِ وَسَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَأُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ لاَ أَدْرِي بَدَأَ بِأُبَىٍّ أَوْ بِمُعَاذٍ

Messenger of Allah ﷺ neither talked in an insulting manner nor did he ever speak evil intentionally. He used to say, "The most beloved to me amongst you is the one who has the best character and manners." He added, " Learn the Qur'an from (any of these) four persons. ʿAbdullah bin Masʿud, Salim the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifa, Ubai bin Kaʿb, and Muʿadh bin Jabal."

عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَاحِشًا وَلاَ مُتَفَحِّشًا وَقَالَ إِنَّ مِنْ أَحَبِّكُمْ إِلَىَّ أَحْسَنَكُمْ أَخْلاَقًا وَقَالَ اسْتَقْرِئُوا الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَسَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَأُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ

ʿAbdullah bin ʿAmr mentioned ʿAbdullah bin Masud and said, "I shall ever love that man, for I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, 'Take (learn) the Qur'an from four: ʿAbdullah bin Masud, Salim, Muʿadh and Ubai bin Kaʿb.' "

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ خُذُوا الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَسَالِمٍ وَمُعَاذٍ وَأُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ

I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Learn the recitation of Qur'an from four persons: Ibn Masʿud, Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifa, Ubai and Muʿadh bin Jabal."

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ اسْتَقْرِئُوا الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ مِنَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَسَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَأُبَىٍّ وَمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ

ʿAbdullah bin Masud was mentioned before ʿAbdullah bin ʿAmr who said, "That is a man I still love, as I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying 'Learn the recitation of Qur'an from four from ʿAbdullah bin Masʿud -- he started with him--Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudaifa, Muʿadh bin Jabal and Ubai bin Kaʿb."

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ خُذُوا الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَبَدَأَ بِهِ وَسَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ وَأُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ

They made a mention of Ibn Mas'ud before 'Abdullah b. Amr, whereupon he said: He is a person whose love is always fresh in my heart after I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Learn the recita- tion of the Qur'an from four persons: from Ibn Mas'ud, Salim, the ally of Abu Hudhaifa, Ubayy b. Ka'b, Mu'adh b. Jabal.

ذَاكَ رَجُلٌ لاَ أَزَالُ أُحِبُّهُ بَعْدَ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اسْتَقْرِئُوا الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ مِنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَسَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَأُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ

We used to go to Abdullah b. 'Amr and talk to him, Ibn Numair said: One day we made a mention of Abdullah b. Mas'ud, whereupon he said: You have made mention of a person whom I love more than anything else. I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Learn Qur'an from four persons: Ibn Umm 'Abd (i. e. 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud) he started from him-then Mu'adh b. Jabal and Ubayya b. Ka'b, then Salim the ally of Abu Hudhaifa. (Using translation from Muslim 2464a)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خُذُوا الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ مِنَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَأُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ وَسَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَذَاكَ رَجُلٌ لَا أَزَالُ أُحِبُّهُ مُنْذُ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَدَأَ بِهِ

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Take the Qur'an from four: From Ibn Mas'ud, Ubayy bin Ka'b, Mu'adh bin Jabal, and Salim the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifah." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3810)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خُذُوا الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ مِنَ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ فَبَدَأَ بِهِ وَمِنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ وَأُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَسَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ

لَقَدْ ذَكَرْتُمْ رَجُلًا لَا أَزَالُ أُحِبُّهُ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ خُذُوا الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ مِنَ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ فَبَدَأَ بِهِ وَمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ وَأُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَسَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ who said, "Take the Quran from four individuals: two from the Muhajireen and two from the Ansar. They are Abdullah bin Mas'ud, Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifa, Ubay bin Ka'b, and Mu'adh bin Jabal." And he specifically singled out Abdullah bin Mas'ud with a word.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ خُذُوا الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَرَجُلَيْنِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَسَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَأُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ وَقَالَ وَخَصَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ بِكَلِمَةٍ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Take the Qur'an from four individuals: Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, Mu'adh, Ubayy, and Salim, the mawla of Abu Hudhayfah. It has a sound chain of narration, although they did not compile it into a book." It is considered weak.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خُذُوا الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَمَنْ مُعَاذٍ وَمَنْ أُبَيٍّ وَمَنْ سَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ «صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» ضعيف

[Machine] "I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, 'Recite the Quran from four people - Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifa, Mu'adh ibn Jabal, and Ubay ibn Ka'b.'"
