حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ بْنُ السَّبَّاقِ، أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ ؓ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ:
" أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ مَقْتَلَ أَهْلِ الْيَمَامَةِ، وَإِذَا عِنْدَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ هَذَا أَتَانِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ الْقَتْلَ قَدِ اسْتَحَرَّ بِقُرَّاءِ الْقُرْآنِ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْطِنِ - يَعْنِي يَوْمَ الْيَمَامَةِ - وَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَسْتَحِرَّ الْقَتْلُ بِقُرَّاءِ الْقُرْآنِ فِي سَائِرِ الْمَوَاطِنِ فَيَذْهَبَ الْقُرْآنُ، وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَنْ تَجْمَعَهُ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ - يَعْنِي لِعُمَرَ -: كَيْفَ نَفْعَلُ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ لِي عُمَرُ: هُوَ وَاللهِ خَيْرٌ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بِي عُمَرُ حَتَّى شَرَحَ اللهُ صَدْرِي لِلَّذِي شَرَحَ لَهُ صَدْرَهُ، وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهِ مِثْلَ الَّذِي رَأَى، وَأَنْتَ رَجُلٌ عَاقِلٌ، قَدْ كُنْتَ تَكْتُبُ الْوَحْيَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَلَا نَتَّهِمُكَ فَاجْمَعْهُ

✧ "Abu Bakr ؓ sent for me after the Battle of al-Yamamah, and 'Umar ibn al-Khattab ؓ was with him. He said: 'This man came to me and informed me that the killing has intensified among the Quran reciters in this place — meaning the Day of al-Yamamah — and I fear that the killing will intensify among the Quran reciters in other places, and so the Quran will be lost. I have decided that you should compile it.' I said to him — meaning to 'Umar —: 'How can we do something the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not do?' 'Umar said to me: 'By Allah, it is good.' 'Umar kept persuading me until Allah opened my chest to what He had opened his chest, and I saw in it what he saw. You are a sensible man, you used to write down the revelation for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and we do not accuse you, so compile it.'"
