Ibn Masud on certain Surahs being among the earliest and dearest to him
I heard Ibn Masud ᴿᴬ say regarding Surahs Bani Israil, al-Kahf, Maryam, Ta-Ha, and Anbiya: “Indeed, they are among the earliest, ancient ones, and they are part of what I have learned of old.”
سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَالْكَهْفِ وَمَرْيَمَ وَطَهَ وَالأَنْبِيَاءِ إِنَّهُنَّ مِنَ الْعِتَاقِ الأُوَلِ وَهُنَّ مِنْ تِلاَدِي
