ʿAbdullāh ibn Masʿūd

Reference note, paraphrased: ʿAbdullāh ibn Masʿūd was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad and an influential teacher of Qur’an, hadith and law. His work in Kufa and the students he trained helped establish lasting traditions of interpretation and legal learning. TDV recounts his public Qur’an recitation at the Kaaba and persecution in Mecca. This supports a cautious account of courage and teaching; do not invent dialogue or dramatic detail. He died in 32 AH, usually rendered 652–653 CE. He is distinct from the later historian al-Masʿūdī.

Reference note, paraphrased: Sahih al-Bukhari 3808 records a report in which the Prophet recommends learning Qur’an recitation from four named companions, including ʿAbdullāh ibn Masʿūd. This directly supports his recognized role as a reciter and teacher within the Islamic hadith tradition. The report concerns learning recitation; it does not narrate the public-recitation episode or confirm the precise wording of the X thread. The older archive tribute quotes Ibn Masʿūd while mourning Habib Umar al-Jilani, a different person; the tribute’s image must not be used as Ibn Masʿūd’s portrait.
