The companions of the Prophet SAW were gathered one day in Makkah. They said, "The Quraish have not yet heard the Qur’an being recited openly and loudly. Who is the man who could recite it for them?". "I shall recite it for them", volunteered Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud. The companions advised against it, saying that they fear for Abdullah. They suggested to send someone who has a clan who would protect him from their evil. Abdullah insisted that Allah will protect him from their evil.

It broke dawn and the Quraish were sitting around the Kabah. He began to recite Surah Rahman.

Moments after the Quraish realized that Abdullah were relating verses revealed to the Prophet SAW, they began slapping his face but he continued reading. When he concluded his recital, his face was covered with welts and blood.

He went back to the companions and told them that the sweetness he felt of his actions will not make him hesitate to do it again the next day.

Honest, humble, responsible and fair in his judgements.

There was once when Abdullah was tending to the flock of Uqbah, two men came up to him. He could see it in their faces that they were thirsty and tired. They came up to him, greeted him and said, ‘Young man, milk one of these sheep for us that we may quench our thirst and recover our strength.’

‘I cannot,’ replied the young man. ‘The sheep are not mine. I am only responsible for looking after them.’

Despite their thirst, they were pleased that Abdullah answered them honestly. The two men were the Prophet SAW himself and Abu Bakr As-Siddiq.

It was during this time Abdullah was impressed with Prophet Muhammad S.A.W and soon became quite attached to them.

From this we could see how transparent Abdullah was and his sense of responsibility towards his employer.

He was under the guidance of the Prophet SAW, he adopted his manner and followed his every trait until it was said of him, ‘He was the closest to the Prophet SAW in character.’

He would carry his staff and his Siwak (toothbrush) and attend to his other personal needs. It was until the point that the Sahabah began calling him Saheb-e-Siwak (bearer of the siwak), Saheb-e-Nalaen (bearer of the slippers), Saheb-e-Mutahara (bearer of the water) and also Saheb-e-Wisadah (bearer of the bedroll).
