After the death of Muhammad, Abdullah ibn Masud became the eighth-most prominent transmitter of hadith with a total of 848 narrations.[39] Umar called him “a box full of knowledge”.[40] The following traditions are among those attributed to him.
- I asked Allah’s Messenger which deed was the best. He replied: “Prayer at its appointed hour.” I said: “Then what?” He replied: “Kindness to the parents.” I said: “Then what?” He replied: “Jihad in the cause of Allah.” And I would have not ceased asking more questions but out of regard.[41]
- A man said: “Allah’s Messenger, which offence is the most grievous in Allah’s eye?” He replied: “That you associate a partner with Allah, who created you.” He said: “What next?” He replied: “That you kill your child out of fear that he would join you in food.” He said: “What next?” He replied: “That you commit adultery with your neighbour’s wife.” And the Almighty and Exalted Lord testified it: All those who call not unto another god along with Allah, and slay not any soul which Allah has forbidden, except in the cause of justice, nor commit fornication, and he who does this shall meet a requital of sin. [Qur’an 25:68][42]
- We were along with Allah's Messenger at Mina, that moon was split up into two. One of its parts was behind the mountain and the other one was on this side of the mountain. Allah's Messenger said to us: “Bear witness to this.”[43]
