( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ فُورَكَ، أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، ثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يُونُسَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ:
أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَكْتُبُونَ الْمَصَاحِفَ عِنْدَ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ فَأَتَوْا عَلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ، فَقَالَ زَيْدٌ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: الشَّيْخُ وَالشَّيْخَةُ إِذَا زَنَيَا فَارْجُمُوهُمَا الْبَتَّةَ نَكَالًا مِنَ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ
