حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ السَّبَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ مَقْتَلَ أَهْلِ الْيَمَامَةِ، قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَإِذَا عُمَرُ عِنْدَهُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: إِنَّ عُمَرَ أَتَانِي فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الْقَتْلَ قَدِ اسْتَحَرَّ بِأَهْلِ الْيَمَامَةِ مِنْ قُرَّاءِ الْقُرْآنِ - أَوِ: النَّاسِ، شَكَّ أَبُو يَعْلَى - فَأَنَا أَخْشَى أَنْ يَسْتَحِرَّ الْقَتْلُ فِي الْمَوَاطِنِ كُلِّهَا، فَيَذْهَبَ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ لَا يُوعَى، وَإِنِّي أَرَى أَنْ تَأْمُرَ بِجَمْعِ الْقُرْآنِ، قُلْتُ لِعُمَرَ: كَيْفَ أَفْعَلُ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: هُوَ وَاللهِ خَيْرٌ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُرَاجِعُنِي فِي ذَلِكَ حَتَّى شَرَحَ اللهُ صَدْرِي، وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهِ الَّذِي رَأَى عُمَرُ، فَقَالَ زَيْدٌ: وَعُمَرُ عِنْدَهُ جَالِسٌ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: إِنَّكَ لَشَابٌّ عَاقِلٌ وَلَا نَتَّهِمُكَ، وَكُنْتَ تَكْتُبُ الْوَحْيَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَاتَّبِعِ الْقُرْآنَ فَاجْمَعْهُ، قَالَ زَيْدٌ: فَوَاللهِ لَوْ كَلَّفُونِي نَقْلَ جَبَلٍ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ مَا كَانَ أَثْقَلَ عَلَيَّ مِمَّا أَمَرَنِي بِهِ مِنْ جَمْعِ الْقُرْآنِ، فَقُلْتُ: كَيْفَ تَفْعَلُونَ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَ: هُوَ وَاللهِ خَيْرٌ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُرَاجِعُنِي حَتَّى شَرَحَ اللهُ صَدْرِي بِالَّذِي شَرَحَ بِهِ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ، فَجَمَعْتُ الْقُرْآنَ أَتَتَبَّعُهُ مِنَ الرِّقَاعِ وَالْأَكْتَافَ وَصُدُورِ الرِّجَالِ، حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ آخِرَ سُورَةِ التَّوْبَةِ مَعَ خُزَيْمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، لَمْ أَجِدْهَا مَعَ أَحَدٍ غَيْرِهِ؛ لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ، فَكَانَتِ الْمَصَاحِفُ الَّتِي جَمَعْنَا فِيهَا الْقُرْآنَ عِنْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ حَيَاتَهُ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللهُ، ثُمَّ عِنْدَ عُمَرَ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللهُ ثُمَّ عِنْدَ حَفْصَةَ

  1. ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿUmar al-Qawārīrī
  2. ʿUthmān b. ʿUmar

✧ Abu Bakr sent for him after the killing of the people of al-Yamama. He said: I came to him, and there was Umar with him. Abu Bakr said: Umar came to me and said: The killing has intensified among the people of al-Yamama from the reciters of the Qur'an - or: the people, Abu Yala was uncertain - so I fear that killing will intensify in all the battlefields, and much of the Qur'an will be lost without being retained. I think you should command the collection of the Qur'an. I said to Umar: How can I do something the Messenger of God ﷺ did not do? Umar said: It is, by God, good. He kept coming back to me in that matter until God expanded my chest, and I saw in it what Umar saw. Zayd said: And Umar was sitting with him, not speaking. Abu Bakr said: You are a young, intelligent man, and we do not suspect you; you used to write down the revelation for the Messenger of God ﷺ, so pursue the Qur'an and collect it. Zayd said: By God, if they had tasked me with moving a mountain among the mountains, it would not have been heavier upon me than what he commanded me regarding the collection of the Qur'an. I said: How can you do something the Messenger of God ﷺ did not do? He said: It is, by God, good. He kept coming back to me until God expanded my chest for what He expanded the chests of Abu Bakr and Umar for. So I collected the Qur'an, pursuing it from parchments, shoulder blades, and the hearts of men, until I found the last part of Surat al-Tawbah with Khuzaymah al-Ansari; I did not find it with anyone else: There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves, to the end of the verse. The codices in which we collected the Qur'an were with Abu Bakr during his lifetime until God took him, then with Umar until God took him, then with Hafsah.
