[Machine] We were at Hudhaifah's house in the shoes of Abdullah. He said, "I do not know anyone who resembles or walks more like the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than the owner of this house, from the moment he leaves until he enters his house. When he disappears, only Allah knows. Indeed, the fortunate ones among the companions of Muhammad ﷺ know that he is one of their closest means to Allah on the Day of Resurrection."  

الطبراني:٨٤٨٨ – حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْقَطِرَانِيُّ الْبَصْرِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الطُّفَيْلِ ثنا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ

كُنَّا عِنْدَ حُذَيْفَةَ بِحِذَاءِ دَارِ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ «مَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا أَشْبَهُ دَلًّا وَلَا سَمْتًا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ صَاحِبِ هَذِهِ الدَّارِ مِنْ حِينِ يَخْرُجُ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ مَنْزِلَهُ فَإِذَا تَوَارَى فَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ لَقَدْ عَلِمَ الْمَحْظُوظُونَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَقْرَبِهِمْ وَسِيلَةً إِلَى اللهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»

ahmad:23342 – Muʿāwiyah > Zāʾidah > al-Aʿmash > Shaqīq

[Machine] Hudhayfah, the most similar person to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, from the time he leaves his house until he returns, I do not know what he does with his family. Abdullah bin Mas'ud was known by the protected companions of Muhammad ﷺ that Abdullah is the closest to Allah among them and a means on the Day of Judgment.  

أحمد:٢٣٣٤٢ – حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا مَعَ حُذَيْفَةَ فَأَقْبَلَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ

حُذَيْفَةُ إِنَّ أَشْبَهَ النَّاسِ هَدْيًا وَدَلًّا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ حِينِ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ فَلَا أَدْرِي مَا يَصْنَعُ فِي أَهْلِهِ لَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمَ الْمَحْفُوظُونَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ مِنْ أَقْرَبِهِمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ وَسِيلَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

[Machine] Hudhaifah said, "Indeed, the person who most resembles the guidance, manners, intentions, and sermons of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the moment he leaves his house until he returns, and I don't know what he does with his family, is Abdullah bin Mas'ood. And by Allah, the fortunate ones among the companions of Muhammad know that Abdullah is among the closest of them and a means [of guidance] on the Day of Resurrection."

[Machine] "I have never seen a man more resembling, having a better character, or more guided than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , from the time he leaves his home until he returns to it, than Abdullah ibn Mas'oud. The fortunate companions of Muhammad ﷺ know well that he is closest to them and will be a means of intercession for them on the Day of Resurrection."
