[Machine] Ishaq narrated from Abdur-Razzaq, who narrated from Thawri, who narrated from Firas, who narrated from Al-Sha'bi, who narrated from Masruq, who said, "I read with Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: 'Indeed, Ibrahim was an obedient nation to Allah' [16:120]. Ibn Mas'ud said, 'Mu'adh was an obedient nation.' They repeated this to him, and he repeated it. Then he said, 'Do you know what an obedient nation is? It is the one who teaches people goodness and is obedient to Allah and His Messenger.'"
