Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates, he says: I used to graze the goats of 'Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ayt. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Boy! Can you get some milk?" I replied: "Yes, but these are entrusted to me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is there any goat in this herd that has not yet mated with a male?" So I brought a goat to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his hand over its udders and milk descended. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) milked it into a vessel, drank himself, and gave it to Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) as well. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the udder: "Shrink back (i.e., return to its previous state)." So it shrank back to its original state. Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: After that, on another occasion, I presented myself to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Teach me that supplication as well." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his hand over my head and said: "May Allah's mercy be upon you, you are a learned and taught boy." In another narration: Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a stone shaped like a bowl or vessel. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) milked into it, drank himself, gave it to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and I also drank. Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: After that, on another occasion, I presented myself to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Teach me some of this Qur'an." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are a learned and taught boy." Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Thus, I recited seventy surahs directly from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
