From among the people, Ibn Umm Abd (Abdullah b. Masud) greatly resembled Messenger of Allah ﷺs in solemn gate and good appearance of piety and in calmness and sobriety from the time he goes out of his house till he returns to it. But we do not know how he behaves with his family when he is alone with them.  

البخاري:٦٠٩٧حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي أُسَامَةَ حَدَّثَكُمُ الأَعْمَشُ سَمِعْتُ شَقِيقًا قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حُذَيْفَةَ يَقُولُ

إِنَّ أَشْبَهَ النَّاسِ دَلاًّ وَسَمْتًا وَهَدْيًا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَبْنُ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ مِنْ حِينَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ إِلَى أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ لاَ نَدْرِي مَا يَصْنَعُ فِي أَهْلِهِ إِذَا خَلاَ

[Machine] Tell us about the closest person to the Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ , from whom we can learn and hear from. He said: "The closest person to the Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ , in terms of appearance, guidance, and righteousness, was his son, Ibn Umm Abd."  

أحمد:٢٣٤٠٨حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ

قُلْنَا لِحُذَيْفَةَ: أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ أَقْرَبِ النَّاسِ سَمْتًا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نَأْخُذْ عَنْهُ وَنَسْمَعْ مِنْهُ. فَقَالَ: كَانَ أَشْبَهُ النَّاسِ سَمْتًا وَدَلًّا وَهَدْيًا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ.

[Machine] I was sitting with Hudhayfah when Ibn Mas'ud and Abu Musa passed by. Hudhayfah did not want to ignore them, so he said, "The person who most resembles the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he leaves his house until he returns to his family is Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, and Allah knows best what he does."  

الطبراني:٨٤٨٥حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ التَّغْلِبِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ الْغَنَوِيُّ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ حُذَيْفَةَ فَمَرَّ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَأَبُو مُوسَى فَكَرِهَ حُذَيْفَةَ أَنْ يَتْرُكَهُمَا فَقَالَ «إِنَّ أَشْبَهَ النَّاسِ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ إِلَى أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ لَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ مَا يَصْنَعُ»
