أَخْبَرَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ
أَنَّ حُذَيْفَةَ قَدِمَ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ وَكَانَ يُغَازِي أَهْلَ الشَّامِ مَعَ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ فِي فَتْحِ أَرْمِينِيَةَ وَأَذْرَبِيجَانَ فَأَفْزَعَ حُذَيْفَةَ اخْتِلَافُهُمْ فِي الْقُرْآنِ فَقَالَ لِعُثْمَانَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ «أَدْرِكْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْتَلِفُوا فِي الْكِتَابِ كَمَا اخْتَلَفْتُ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى فَأَرْسَلَ عُثْمَانُ إِلَى حَفْصَةَ أَنْ أَرْسِلِي إِلَيْنَا بِالصُّحُفِ نَنْسَخُهَا فِي الْمَصَاحِفِ ثُمَّ نَرُدُّهَا إِلَيْكِ فَأَرْسَلَتْ بِهَا إِلَيْهِ فَأَمَرَ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ وَعَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ وَسَعِيدَ بْنَ الْعَاصِ وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ أَنْ يَنْسِخُوا الصُّحُفَ فِي الْمَصَاحِفِ فَإِنِ اخْتَلَفُوا وَزِيدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَاكْتُبُوهُ بِلِسَانِ قُرَيْشٍ فَإِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ نَزَلَ بِلِسَانِهِمْ فَفَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ حَتَّى إِذَا نَسَخُوا الصُّحُفَ فِي الْمَصَاحِفِ رَدَّ عُثْمَانُ الصُّحُفَ إِلَى حَفْصَةَ وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى كُلِّ أُفُقٍ مُصْحَفًا مِمَّا نَسَخُوا»

✧ Hudhayfah came to Uthman while he was fighting the people of Syria together with the people of Iraq in the conquest of Armenia and Azerbaijan. Their differences in the Quran alarmed Hudhayfah, so he said to Uthman, 'O Commander of the Faithful, catch this ummah before they differ about the Book as the Jews and Christians differed.' Uthman sent to Hafsah, saying, 'Send us the suhuf so we may copy them into the masahif, then we will return them to you.' She sent them to him. He commanded Zayd b. Thabit, Abdullah b. al-Zubayr, Sa'id b. al-As, and Abd al-Rahman b. al-Harith b. Hisham to copy the suhuf into the masahif. If they differed with Zayd b. Thabit about something of the Quran, they were to write it in the language of Quraysh, for the Quran was revealed in their language. They did that until they had copied the suhuf into the masahif. Uthman returned the suhuf to Hafsah and sent a mushaf from what they copied to every region.
