حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ لُوَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَابِرٍ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ حَنَشٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ
لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ عَشْرُ آيَاتٍ مِنْ بَرَاءَةَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ دَعَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، فَبَعَثَهُ بِهَا لِيَقْرَأَهَا عَلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ، ثُمَّ دَعَانِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ لِي: أَدْرِكْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، فَحَيْثُمَا لَحِقْتَهُ، فَخُذِ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ، فَاذْهَبْ بِهِ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ، فَاقْرَأْهُ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَلَحِقْتُهُ بِالْجُحْفَةِ، فَأَخَذْتُ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ، وَرَجَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، نَزَلَ فِيَّ شَيْءٌ ؟ قَالَ: لَا، وَلَكِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ جَاءَنِي، فَقَالَ: لَنْ يُؤَدِّيَ عَنْكَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، أَوْ رَجُلٌ مِنْكَ

✧ When ten verses of Bara'ah were revealed to the Prophet ﷺ, the Prophet ﷺ called Abu Bakr and sent him with them to recite them to the people of Makkah. Then the Prophet ﷺ called me and said: 'Catch up with Abu Bakr, and wherever you reach him, take the document from him and go with it to the people of Makkah and recite it to them.' So I caught up with him at al-Juhfah, took the document from him, and Abu Bakr returned to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of God, has something been revealed concerning me?' He said: 'No, but Gabriel came to me and said: No one should convey it on your behalf except you or a man from you.'
