"عَنْ زيد بن ثابت قال: قَدْ كُنَّا نَقْرأُ (الشَّيْخُ والشَّيْخَةُ فَارجُمُوهُمَا البَتَّة) فقال له مروانُ: يا زيدُ أَفَلَا تكْتُبُها؟ قال: ذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ وَفينا عُمَرُ، فقال: أُسْعِفُكُمْ؟ قُلْنَا: وَكَيْفَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: آتِى النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَأَذْكُرُ ذاكَ، فَأَتَاهُ فَذَكَرَ آيَةَ الرَّجْمِ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله اكتُبْنِى آيةَ الرَّجْمِ، فَأَبَى وقال: لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ الآنَ".

"From Zayd b. Thābit, who said: 'We used to recite: (The old man and the old woman, stone them both outright).' Marwān said to him: 'O Zayd, will you not write it down?' He said: 'We mentioned that while ʿUmar was among us, and he said: Shall I help you out? We said: How so? He said: I will go to the Prophet ﷺ and mention that.' So he went to him and mentioned the verse of stoning. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, have me write down the verse of stoning.' But he refused and said: 'I cannot do it now.'"
