حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ زَيْدًا أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ

لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ، قَالَ زَيْدٌ: ذُهِبَ بِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَأُعْجِبَ بِي فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَذَا غُلَامٌ مِنْ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ، مَعَهُ مِمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ بِضْعَ عَشْرَةَ سُورَةً، فَأَعْجَبَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَقَالَ: يَا زَيْدُ، تَعَلَّمْ لِي كِتَابَ يَهُودَ، فَإِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا آمَنُ يَهُودَ عَلَى كِتَابِي. قَالَ زَيْدٌ: فَتَعَلَّمْتُ لَهُ كِتَابَهُمْ، مَا مَرَّتْ بِي خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً حَتَّى حَذَقْتُهُ، وَكُنْتُ أَقْرَأُ لَهُ كُتُبَهُمْ إِذَا كَتَبُوا إِلَيْهِ، وَأُجِيبُ عَنْهُ إِذَا كَتَبَ

✧ When the Prophet ﷺ came to Madinah, Zaid said: I was brought to the Prophet ﷺ, and he was impressed with me. They said: O Messenger of Allah, this is a boy from Banu al-Najjar, and he has with him some ten-plus surahs of what Allah has revealed to you. That impressed the Prophet ﷺ, and he said: O Zaid, learn for me the script of the Jews, for by Allah I do not trust the Jews regarding my scripture. Zaid said: So I learned their script for him; not fifteen nights passed before I mastered it, and I used to read their letters to him when they wrote to him, and I would reply on his behalf when he wrote.
