Hadith 8408

عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَمَّا كُتِبَتِ الْمَصَاحِفُ فَقَدْتُ آيَةً كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَجَدْتُهَا عِنْدَ خُزَيْمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ [سورة الأحزاب: ٢٣] إِلَى تَبْدِيلًا قَالَ فَكَانَ خُزَيْمَةُ يُدْعَى ذَا الشَّهَادَتَيْنِ أَجَازَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَهَادَتَهُ بِشَهَادَةِ رَجُلَيْنِ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَقُتِلَ يَوْمَ صِفِّينَ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When the manuscripts of the Qur'an were being written, I could not find one verse, although I used to hear it from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Eventually, I found that verse with Sayyiduna Khuzaymah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him). That verse was: {مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوْا مَا عَاہَدُوا اللّٰہَ عَلَیْہِتَبْدِیلًا}. Sayyiduna Khuzaymah (may Allah be pleased with him) was called "the one with two testimonies" because the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) considered his testimony equal to that of two men. Imam Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Sayyiduna Khuzaymah (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred in the Battle of Siffin, while he was fighting on the side of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).
وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ فُقِدَتْ آيَةٌ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْأَحْزَابِ حِينَ نَسَخْنَا الْمَصَاحِفَ قَدْ كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ بِهَا رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ [سورة الأحزاب: ٢٣] فَالْتَمَسْتُهَا فَوَجَدْتُهَا مَعَ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَأَلْحَقْتُهَا فِي سُورَتِهَا فِي الْمُصْحَفِ
(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When we were writing the Mushaf, I could not find one verse of Surah Al-Ahzab, although I had heard it from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). That verse was: {رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوْا مَا عَاہَدُوا اللّٰہَ عَلَیْہِ … … }. When I searched for that verse, I found it with Sayyiduna Khuzaymah bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him), so I wrote it in its surah in the Mushaf.
