[Machine] "Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'Indeed, Ibrahim was an obedient nation to Allah." [Surah An-Nahl, 120] Ibn Abbas said: "Do you know what a nation is? And who is the obedient? So I said, 'Allah knows best.' He said, 'A nation is the one who knows good, and the obedient is the one who obeys Allah and His Messenger, peace be upon him.' Similarly, Mu'adh ibn Jabal was a teacher of good and obedient to Allah and His Messenger, peace be upon him." Shu'bah narrated it from Firas from Ash-Sha'bi from Masruq from Abdullah, and he attributed it at the end. Adh-Dhahabi stopped discussing it further in the summary.
