He lived until the time of the third Caliph, Uthman ibn Affan (may Allah be pleased with him). During this period, Abdullah Ibn Masud eventually retired from his official responsibilities and returned to Madinah. His life remained devoted to worship, teaching, and remembrance of Allah.

A famous narration describes an emotional moment during his final illness. When Caliph Uthman visited him and asked about his condition, Ibn Masud replied that his ailment was his sins and that he hoped only for the mercy of his Lord. When offered financial assistance that he had previously declined, he refused again, expressing his trust in Allah.

He also advised his family to regularly recite Surah Al-Waqiah, mentioning a tradition that whoever reads it nightly would not suffer from poverty. Shortly after, in the year 33 or 34 AH, Abdullah Ibn Masud passed away while remembering Allah, leaving behind a legacy of knowledge, humility, and faith.
