أَخْبَرَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ السَّبَّاقِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ

أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَقْتَلَ أَهْلِ الْيَمَامَةِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَعِنْدَهُ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عُمَرَ أَتَانِي فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الْقَتْلَ اسْتَحَرَّ يَوْمَ الْيَمَامَةِ بِقُرَّاءِ الْقُرْآنِ وَإِنِّي أَرَى أَنْ تَأْمُرَ بِجَمْعِ الْقُرْآنِ» فَقُلْتُ «كَيْفَ أَفْعَلُ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟» فَقَالَ عُمَرُ «هُوَ وَاللهِ خَيْرٌ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُرَاجِعُنِي حَتَّى شَرَحَ اللهُ صَدْرِي لِلَّذِي شَرَحَ لَهُ صَدْرَ عُمَرَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّكَ غُلَامٌ شَابٌّ عَاقِلٌ لَا نَتَّهِمُكَ قَدْ كُنْتَ تَكْتُبُ الْوَحْيَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَتَتَّبَعِ الْقُرْآنَ فَاجْمَعْهُ» فَقُلْتُ كَيْفَ تَفْعَلَانِ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ «هُوَ وَاللهِ خَيْرٌ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُرَاجِعُنِي حَتَّى شَرَحَ اللهُ صَدْرِي لِلَّذِي شَرَحَ لَهُ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَاللهِ لَوْ كَلَّفَانِي نَقْلَ جَبَلٍ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ مَا كَانَ أَثْقَلَ عَلَيَّ مِنَ الَّذِي كَلَّفَانِي ثُمَّ تَتَبَّعْتُ الْقُرْآنَ أَجْمَعُهُ مِنَ الْعُسُبِ وَالرِّقَاعِ وَالصُّحُفِ وَصُدُورِ الرِّجَالِ»

✧ Abu Bakr sent for me after the killing of the people of Yamamah. I went to him and Umar was with him. He said: Umar came to me and said: "The killing was intense on the day of Yamamah among the reciters of the Qur'an, and I think you should command that the Qur'an be collected." I said: "How can I do something the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not do?" Umar said: "By Allah, it is good." He kept urging me until Allah opened my chest to that to which He opened Umar's chest. Then he said: "You are a young, intelligent man and we do not suspect you. You used to write the revelation for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so seek out the Qur'an and collect it." I said: How can you two do something the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not do? Abu Bakr said: "By Allah, it is good." He kept urging me until Allah opened my chest to that to which He opened the chests of Abu Bakr and Umar. By Allah, if they had tasked me with moving a mountain, it would not have been heavier upon me than what they tasked me with. Then I sought out the Qur'an, collecting it from palm stalks, parchments, sheets, and the hearts of men.
