حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْخَطَّابِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الرَّازِيُّ ثنا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ اسْتَكْتَبَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ الْأَرْقَمِ فَكَانَ يَكْتُبُ إِلَى الْمُلُوكِ فَبَلَغَ مِنْ أَمَانَتِهِ عَنْدَهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَكْتُبُ إِلَى بَعْضِ الْمُلُوكِ فَيَكْتُبُ ثُمَّ يَأْمُرُهُ أَنْ يُطَبِّقَهُ ثُمَّ يَخْتِمُ لَا يَقْرَأُهُ لِأَمانِتِهِ عَنْدَهُ واسْتَكْتَبَ أَيْضًا زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ فَكَانَ يَكْتُبُ الْوَحْيَ وَيَكْتُبُ إِلَى الْمُلُوكِ أَيْضًا وَكَانَ إِذَا غَابَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْأَرْقَمِ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فَاحْتَاجَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ إِلَى بَعْضِ أُمَرَاءِ الْأَجْنَادِ وَالْمُلُوكِ وَيَكْتُبَ لِإِنْسَانٍ كِتَابًا يَقْطَعُهُ أَمَرَ مَنْ حَضَرَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ وَقَدْ كَتَبَ لَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَالْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ وَمُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَخَالِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِّ ؓ وَغَيْرُهُمْ مِمَّنْ قَدْ سُمَيَّ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ»

✧ “The Prophet ﷺ employed 'Abdullah b. al-Arqam as a scribe, and he used to write to the kings. Such was his trustworthiness with him that he would write to one of the kings, then he would order him to fold it and seal it without reading it, due to his trustworthiness with him. He also employed Zayd b. Thabit as a scribe, and he used to write down the revelation and also write to the kings. When 'Abdullah b. al-Arqam and Zayd b. Thabit were absent and he needed to write to one of the commanders of the armies and the kings, or to write a document for a person granting him a share, he would order whoever was present to write. Those who wrote for him included 'Umar b. al-Khattab, 'Uthman b. 'Affan, 'Ali b. Abi Talib, Zayd b. Thabit, al-Mughirah b. Shu'bah, Mu'awiyah b. Abi Sufyan, Khalid b. Sa'id b. al-'As ؓ, and others among the Arabs who have been named.”
