Musnad Ahmad 846 (Book 5, Hadith 276) #34502
Praising Abdullah bin Mas'ood

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) highly praised Abdullah bin Mas'ood and said that if he had to appoint someone to a position of authority without consulting anyone, he would have appointed him.

It was narrated that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah said: 'If I were to appoint anyone to a position of authority without consultation, I would have appointed Ibn Umm 'Abd (Abdullah bin Mas'ood)'.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ الْأَعْوَرِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَوْ كُنْتُ مُؤَمِّرًا أَحَدًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي مِنْ غَيْرِ مَشُورَةٍ لَأَمَّرْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ‏.‏
