Abdullah reported:By Him besides Whom there is no god, there is no chapter in the Book of Allah about which I do not know as to where it was revealed and there is no verse about which I do not know in what context it was revealed, and if I were to know of one having a better understanding of the Book of Allah than I (and I could reach him) on the back of the mule, I would have definitely gone to him on camel's back

حدثنا ابو كريب، حدثنا يحيى بن ادم، حدثنا قطبة، عن الاعمش، عن مسلم، عن مسروق، عن عبد الله، قال والذي لا اله غيره ما من كتاب الله سورة الا انا اعلم حيث نزلت وما من اية الا انا اعلم فيما انزلت ولو اعلم احدا هو اعلم بكتاب الله مني تبلغه الابل لركبت اليه
