قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ثَنَا أَبُو وَائِلٍ الْقَاصُّ الْمُرَادِيُّ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ هَانِئَ الْبَرْبَرِيَّ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ( ؓ ) يَقُولُ:

لَمَّا كَانَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ يَكْتُبُ الْمَصَاحِفَ شَكُّوا فِي ثَلَاثِ آيَاتٍ، فَكَتَبُوهَا فِي كَتِفِ شَاةٍ، ( وَأَرْسَلُونِي ) إِلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ؓ، ( فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِمَا، فَنَاوَلْتُهَا إِلَى ) أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ؓ، فَقَرَأَهَا فَوَجَدَ فِيهَا: لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِلْخَلْقِ ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ، فَمَحَى بِيَدِهِ ؓ أَحَدَ اللَّامَيْنِ، وَكَتَبَهَا: لا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللهِ قَالَ: وَوَجَدَ ؓ فِيهَا: « انْظُرْ إِلَى طَعَامِكَ وَشَرَابِكَ لَمْ يَتَسَنَّ »، فَمَحَى النُّونَ وَكَتَبَهَا لَمْ يَتَسَنَّهْ وَقَرَأَ ؓ مِنْهَا: « فَأَمْهِلِ الْكَافِرِينَ » فَمَحَى الْأَلِفَ وَكَتَبَهَا ( فَمَهِّلِ )، قَالَ ؓ: وَلَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا قَالَ فِيهَا، فَنَظَرَ فِيهَا زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ؓ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقْتُ بِهَا إِلَى عُثْمَانَ ؓ، فَأَثْبَتُوهَا فِي الْمَصَاحِفِ كَذَلِكَ

✧ When Uthman ؓ was writing the mushafs, they were uncertain about three verses, so they wrote them on the shoulder blade of a sheep. And they sent me to Ubayy b. Ka'b and Zayd b. Thabit ؓ. I entered upon them and handed it to Ubayy b. Ka'b ؓ, and he read it and found in it: "There is no alteration for the creation; that is the upright religion." So he wiped away with his hand ؓ one of the two lams and wrote it: "There is no alteration for Allah's creation." He said: And he found ؓ in it: "Look at your food and your drink; it has not changed with time." So he wiped away the nun and wrote it: "it has not changed with time." And he read ؓ from it: "So give respite to the disbelievers." So he wiped away the alif and wrote it: "So give respite." He said ؓ: And I do not know him except that he said regarding it, then Zayd b. Thabit ؓ looked at it, then I departed with it to Uthman ؓ, and they established it in the mushafs as such.
