حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْأَخْنَسِ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَكَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ:
كُنْتُ أَكْتُبُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَسْمَعُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَأُرِيدُ حِفْظَهُ، فَنَهَتْنِي قُرَيْشٌ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، وَقَالُوا [١]: تَكْتُبُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ تَسْمَعُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ ! وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَكَلَّمُ فِي الرِّضَا وَالْغَضَبِ ! قَالَ: فَأَمْسَكْتُ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى فِيهِ، فَقَالَ: اكْتُبْ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ إِلَّا حَقٌّ
Translation
Machine translation, not reviewed
I used to write down everything I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, wanting to memorize it. But the Quraysh forbade me from doing that and said: 'You write down everything you hear from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ speaks in both contentment and anger!' So I stopped. I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, and he pointed with his hand to his mouth and said: 'Write, for by Him in whose hand my soul is, nothing comes out of it except the truth.'
