Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm > ʿAbdah > al-Aʿmash > Shaqīq > ʿAbdullāh

I have read to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , seventy-odd chapters, and the companions of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , knew that I knew them from the Book of Allah. And if I knew that anyone knew them more than me, I would have traveled to him. A companion said, 'So, I sat in the gatherings of the companions of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and I did not hear anyone criticizing or refuting what I recited.'

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِضْعًا وَسَبْعِينَ سُورَةً وَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنِّي أَعْلَمُهُمْ بِكِتَابِ اللهِ وَلَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ أَحَدًا أَعْلَمَ بِهِ مِنِّي لَرَحَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ شَقِيقٌ «فَجَلَسْتُ فِي حِلَقِ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَمَا سَمِعْتُ أَحَدًا يَعِيبُ ذَلِكَ وَلَا يَرُدَّهُ»
