3804. Yazīd bin 'Umaīrah said: “When death was upon Mu'ādḥ bin Jabal, it was said to him: 'O Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān, advise us.' He said: 'Sit me up.' So he said: 'Indeed, knowledge and faith are at their place, whoever desires them shall find them.' He said that three times. 'And seek knowledge from four men: 'Uwaimir Abū Ad-Dardā', with Salmān Al-Fārīsī, with 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd, and with 'Abdullāh bin Salām who used to be a Jew and then accepted Islam. For indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying, “Indeed he is the tenth of ten in Paradise.” (Sahīh)
[He said:] And there is a narration on this topic from Sa'd.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb.
