حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ السَّبَّاقِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ:

أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَقْتَلَ أَهْلِ الْيَمَامَةِ، فَإِذَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: إِنَّ عُمَرَ أَتَانِي فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الْقَتْلَ قَدِ اسْتَحَرَّ يَوْمَ الْيَمَامَةِ بِقُرَّاءِ الْقُرْآنِ، وَإِنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ يَسْتَحِرَّ الْقَتْلُ بِقُرَّاءِ الْقُرْآنِ فِي الْمَوَاطِنِ، فَيَذْهَبَ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، وَإِنِّي أَرَى أَنْ تَأْمُرَ فَيُجْمَعَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: كَيْفَ أَفْعَلُ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: هُوَ وَاللهِ خَيْرٌ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُرَاجِعُنِي فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَنْ شَرَحَ اللهُ لِذَلِكَ صَدْرِي، وَرَأَيْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ الَّذِي رَأَى عُمَرُ، قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ: قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: إِنَّكَ فَتًى شَابٌّ عَاقِلٌ لَا نَتَّهِمُكَ، وَقَدْ كُنْتَ تَكْتُبُ الْوَحْيَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَتَتَبَّعِ الْقُرْآنَ فَاجْمَعْهُ، قَالَ زَيْدٌ: وَاللهِ لَوْ كَلَّفَنِي نَقْلَ جَبَلٍ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ مَا كَانَ أَثْقَلَ عَلَيَّ مِنَ الَّذِي أَمَرَنِي بِهِ مِنْ جَمْعِ الْقُرْآنِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: كَيْفَ تَفْعَلُونَ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَ: هُوَ وَاللهِ خَيْرٌ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُرَاجِعُنِي حَتَّى شَرَحَ اللهُ صَدْرِي لِلَّذِي شَرَحَ لَهُ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ، وَرَأَيْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ الَّذِي رَأَيَا، فَتَتَبَّعْتُ الْقُرْآنَ أَجْمَعُهُ مِنَ الرِّقَاعِ وَاللِّخَافِ وَالْعُسُبِ وَصُدُورِ الرِّجَالِ، حَتَّى فَقَدْتُ آخِرَ سُورَةِ التَّوْبَةِ فَوَجَدْتُهَا مَعَ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ؛ لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ إِلَى خَاتِمَةِ ( بَرَاءَةٌ )، وَكَانَتِ الصُّحُفُ عِنْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ حَيَاتَهُ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللهُ، ثُمَّ عِنْدَ عُمَرَ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللهُ، ثُمَّ عِنْدَ حَفْصَةَ

  1. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Abū Salamah b. ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb

✧ Abu Bakr sent for me after the killing of the people of al-Yamama, and Umar b. al-Khattab was with him. Abu Bakr said: Umar came to me and said: The killing was intense on the day of al-Yamama among the reciters of the Quran, and I fear that killing will intensify among the reciters of the Quran in other places, and much of the Quran will be lost. I think you should order that it be collected. I said: How can I do something the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not do? Umar said: By Allah, it is good. He kept arguing with me about it until Allah opened my chest to it, and I saw in it what Umar saw. Zayd b. Thabit said: Abu Bakr said: You are a young, intelligent man, and we do not suspect you. You used to write down the revelation for the Prophet ﷺ. So track down the Quran and collect it. Zayd said: By Allah, if he had tasked me with moving a mountain, it would not have been heavier on me than what he ordered me to do in collecting the Quran. I said: How can you do something the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not do? He said: By Allah, it is good. He kept arguing with me until Allah opened my chest to what He had opened the chests of Abu Bakr and Umar to, and I saw in it what they saw. So I tracked down the Quran, collecting it from parchments, flat stones, palm stalks, and the hearts of men, until I missed the end of Surat al-Tawba. I found it with Khuzayma b. Thabit al-Ansari: 'There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is what you suffer; he is concerned over you and to the believers is kind and merciful' up to the end of Bara'a. The sheets remained with Abu Bakr during his life until Allah took him, then with Umar until Allah took him, then with Hafsa.
