The merits of 'Abdullah bin Mas’ud رضي الله عنه
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) neither talked in an insulting manner nor did he ever speak evil intentionally. He used to say, "The most beloved to me amongst you is the one who has the best character and manners." He added, " Learn the Qur'an from (any of these) four persons. `Abdullah bin Mas`ud رضی اللہ عنہما , Salim the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifa رضی اللہ عنہ , Ubai bin Ka`b, and Mu`adh bin Jabal رضی اللہ عنہ."
