حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ بْنُ السَّبَّاقِ، أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ حَدَّثَهُ، قَالَ:
" أَرْسَلَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ مَقْتَلَ أَهْلِ الْيَمَامَةِ، وَإِذَا عِنْدَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، ؓ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ هَذَا أَتَانِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ الْقَتْلَ قَدِ اسْتَحَرَّ بِقُرَّاءِ الْقُرْآنِ - يَعْنِي يَوْمَ الْيَمَامَةِ - وَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَسْتَحِرَّ الْقَتْلُ بِقُرَّاءِ الْقُرْآنِ فِي سَائِرِ الْمَوَاطِنِ، فَيَذْهَبَ الْقُرْآنُ، وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَنْ تَجْمَعَهُ، فَقُلْتُ: كَيْفَ تَفْعَلُونَ أَمْرًا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ فَوَاللهِ لَوْ كَلَّفُونِي نَقْلَ جَبَلٍ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا كَلَّفُونِي

✧ Abu Bakr ؓ sent for me after the battle of the people of Yamama, and Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ was with him. He said, "This one came to me and informed me that the killing has intensified among the reciters of the Quran—meaning on the day of Yamama—and I fear that the killing will intensify among the reciters of the Quran in other places, and the Quran will be lost. I think you should collect it." I said, "How can you do something the Messenger of God ﷺ did not do?" By God, if they had tasked me with moving a mountain, it would have been dearer to me than what they tasked me with.
