حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ شَقِ
يقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ أَخَذْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِضْعًا وَسَبْعِينَ سُورَةً وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ غُلَامٌ لَهُ ذُؤَابَتَانِ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الْغِلْمَانِ

English Translation
'Affan narrated to us, 'Abd al-Wahid narrated to us, Sulayman al-A'mash narrated to us, from Shaqiq ibn Salamah who said: 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud gave us a sermon and said: I have taken from the mouth of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ more than seventy surahs. And indeed, the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ know that I am among the most knowledgeable of them regarding the Book of Allah, yet I am not the best of them. And if I knew anyone more knowledgeable than me, I would travel to him. Shaqiq said: I sat in his circles and never heard anyone criticize him for that or object to it.
