It is also related that once, when a young Abd-Allah ibn Mas'ud recited the [[Qur'an]] in the [[Ka'aba]], he was mercilessly beaten by the [[Quraish]].

===During Rashidun Caliphates===
Ibn Mas'ud held administrative and diplomatic duties under the caliphs [[Umar ibn al-Khattab]] (r.634-644) and [[Uthman ibn Affan]] (d.656), but he eventually broke with the latter. 
He was considered one of the most prolific transmitters of [[hadith]], especially via the transmitters of [[Kufa]], where he settled {{fact}}. 

Some of his well-known disciples in Kufa included [[Alqama ibn Qays al-Nakha'i]], [[Aswad ibn Yazid]] and [[Masruq ibn al-Ajda']] <ref name=muslimuzbekistan/>.

Ibn Mas'ud is especially important for traditions on the interpretation of the [[Quran]], having been present for many revelations. He also deemed [[triple talaq]] as a single one. Triple talaq is a controversial Sunni Islamic procedure whereby a husband can divorce his wife by saying to her "talaq, talaq, talaq" ("I divorce you", three times). It is not used in [[Shi'a]] jurisprudence, since they deem the talaq to be a procedure rather than a decision.

===Sunni view===
Sunnis include him in the [[Hadith of Learning Qur'an from four people]], in which according to the hadith, Muhammad said: ''"Learn the Qur'an from four persons: Abd-Allah ibn Mas'ud, [[Salim Mawla Abu-Hudhayfah]], [[Ubayy ibn Kab]] and [[Muadh ibn Jabal]]."''
