حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رُسْتَةَ ثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ
ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ فَذَكَرَ النَّسَبَ بِنَحْوِهِ وَزَادَ وَشَهِدَ الْعَقَبَةَ فِي السَّبْعِينَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ «وَكَانَ يَكْتُبُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْوَحْيَ وَقَدِ اخْتُلِفَ فِي وَقْتِ وَفَاتِهِ فَقِيلَ أَنَّهُ مَاتَ فِي خِلَافَةِ عُمَرَ سَنَةَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ وَقِيلَ مَاتَ فِي خِلَافَةِ عُثْمَانَ سَنَةَ ثَلَاثِينَ وَهَذَا أَثْبَتُ الْأَقَاوِيلِ بِأَنَّ عُثْمَانَ أَمَرَهُ بِأَنْ يَجْمَعَ الْقُرْآنَ»

✧ Muhammad b. Umar narrated to us, mentioning the lineage similarly and adding: “He witnessed the Aqabah among the seventy from the Ansar, and he used to write down the revelation for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. There is disagreement about the time of his death: it is said he died during the caliphate of Umar in the year twenty-two, and it is said he died during the caliphate of Uthman in the year thirty. The latter is the more reliable of the statements, because Uthman ordered him to compile the Quran.”
