وَعَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ لَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ: الْتَمِسُوا الْعِلْمَ عِنْدَ أَرْبَعَةٍ: عِنْدَ عُوَيْمِرٍ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ وَعِنْدَ سَلْمَانَ وَعِنْدَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَعِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ الَّذِي كَانَ يَهُودِيّا فَأسلم فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّهُ عَاشِرُ عَشَرَةٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
