Abu Mūsā replied, “If you say that, it is because he used to hear when we did not hear, and he would enter when we were not admitted.” (2)

Masrūq narrated that ʿAbd Allah said, “No surah has ever been sent down without my knowing the circumstances of its revelation; and if I were to learn of a man more versed in the Book of Allah than I am, within reach of camels and riding beasts, I would travel to him.” (3)

Commenting on Allah’s words, “When they leave your presence they say to those who have been given knowledge, ‘What did he just say?’” (Q. 47:16), ʿAbd Allah ibn Buraydah said, “It refers to ʿAbd Allah ibn Masʿūd.” (4)

Masrūq was asked, “Did ʿĀʾishah master the laws of inheritance?” He replied, “By Allah, I have seen the senior Companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asking her about inheritance shares.” (5)

وقال عُقْبَةُ بنُ عامرٍ (١): ما أرى أحدًا أعْلَمَ بما أُنْزِل على محمدٍ من عبد الله. فقال أبو موسى: إنْ تَقُلْ ذلك فإنه كان يسمع حين لا نَسمع، ويَدْخلُ حين لا نَدْخُل (٢). وقال مَسْرُوقٌ: قال عبد الله: ما أُنْزِلَتْ سورةٌ إلا وأنا أعلم فيما أنزلت، ولو أَنّي أعلم أنَّ رجلًا أعْلَمُ بكتاب الله مني تبلُغُه الإِبِل والمَطَايَا لأتَيْتُه (٣). وقال عبدُ الله بن بُرَيْدَة في قوله ﷿: ﴿حَتَّى إِذَا خَرَجُوا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ قَالُوا لِلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ مَاذَا قَالَ آنِفًا﴾ [محمد: ١٦]. قال: هو عبد الله بن مسعود (٤). وقيل لمسروق: كانت عائشة تُحْسِنُ الفَرائِضَ؟ قال: والله لقد رأيتُ الأكابرَ من أصحابِ رسول الله ﷺ يسألونها عن الفَرائِضِ (٥). وقال أبو موسى: ما أشكل علينا -أصحابَ محمد ﷺ- حديثٌ قَطّ
