حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ الْأَزْدِيُّ ثنا خَالِدُ بْنُ خِدَاشٍ ثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْيَمَامَةَ أُصِيبَ مِمَّنْ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ نَاسٌ كَثِيرٌ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ أَرْبَعِمِائَةٍ فَجِئْتُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنْ كَانتْ وَقْعَةٌ أُخْرَى يَذْهَبُ الْقُرْآنُ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ مَا أَنَا بِمُغَيِّرٍ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَصْنَعْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ مَا نُغَيِّرُ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَصْنَعْهٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ قُلْتُ فَمَا عَلَيْكُمْ؟ فَقَالَا مَا عَلَيْنَا صَدَقْتَ فَكَتَبَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ فِي الْجَرِيدِ وَالْأَكْتَافِ

✧ On the day of the Battle of Yamamah, many people who used to recite the Quran were killed. It was mentioned that about four hundred people were killed. So, I went to Abu Bakr and said to him, "If there is another calamity where the Quran might be lost, what do you think we should do?" Abu Bakr said, "I am not going to change anything that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did." So, he sent a message to Umar ibn Al-Khattab and he said the same thing, "We will not change anything that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did." Zaid ibn Thabit said, "Then what should we do?" They both agreed that I was right, and Abu Bakr wrote it down on parchments and pieces of bones.
