Sahih Ibn Hibban 744

Translation

✧ A man used to write for the Prophet ﷺ. He had read Al-Baqarah and Al 'Imran until he had become distinguished among us, and the Prophet ﷺ would dictate to him, "Forgiving and Merciful." So he would write, "Pardoning and Merciful." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Write, for by the One in whose hand is my soul, whatever he (Gabriel) dictates to you." Then he dictated to him, "Knowledgeable and Wise." So he wrote, "All-Hearing and All-Seeing." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Write, whichever of the two you wish." He (the scribe) narrated that he reverted from Islam and joined the pagans. He said, "I know more about Muhammad than you all. If I wanted, I would write whatever I pleased." So he died in disbelief, and it reached the Prophet ﷺ. He said, "Truly, the earth will not accept him." Then Abu Talhah said, "So I went to the land where he died, and I found him rejected." I said, "What happened to him?" They said, "We buried him, but the earth did not accept him."
