قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الْحَلَبِيُّ، قَالَ:
قُلْتُ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْمُلَائِيِّ: اكْتُبْ لِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ، فَقَالَ: لَا، إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّخَعِيَّ قَالَ: لَا تَكْتُبُوا فَتَتَّكِلُوا، ثُمَّ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: قَالَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ ؓ: خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نَكْتُبُ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْحَدِيثِ، فَقَالَ: مَا هَذَا يَا مُعَاذُ ؟ قُلْنَا: سَمِعْنَاهُ مِنْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ ﷺ: يَكْفِيكُمْ هَذَا الْقُرْآنُ مِمَّا سِوَاهُ فَمَا كَتَبْنَا شَيْئًا بَعْدُ

✧ I said to 'Amr b. Qays al-Mula'i: "Write this hadith for me." He said: "No, for Ibrahim al-Nakha'i said: 'Do not write, lest you rely on it.' Then Ibrahim said: 'Mu'adh b. Jabal ؓ said: The Messenger of God ﷺ came out to us while we were writing some hadith, and he said: "What is this, O Mu'adh?" We said: "We heard it from you, O Messenger of God." He ﷺ said: "This Quran suffices you from anything else." So we did not write anything after that.'"
