فَضْلٌ فِي الرُّخْصَةِ فِي كِتَابَةِ الْحَدِيثِ
Its virtue regarding the concession in writing hadith
Hadith 296
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو (يَعْنِي بْنَ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ) قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَكْتُبُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَسْمَعُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُرِيدُ حِفْظَهُ فَنَهَتْنِي قُرَيْشٌ فَقَالُوا: إِنَّكَ تَكْتُبُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ تَسْمَعُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَشَرٌ يَتَكَلَّمُ فِي الْغَضَبِ وَالرِّضَا، فَأَمْسَكْتُ عَنِ الْكِتَابِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: ((اكْتُبْ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا خَرَجَ مِنِّي حَقٌّ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: Whatever I used to hear from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I would write it down with the intention of remembering it. But the Quraysh forbade me from doing so and said: "You write down everything you hear from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), while he is a human being and speaks in both states of anger and happiness." So I stopped writing and informed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about this. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You write! By the One in whose hand is my soul, nothing comes from me except the truth."
Hadith 297
عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ وَالْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَا: سَمِعْنَاهُ يَقُولُ: مَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ أَعْلَمَ بِحَدِيثِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنِّي إِلَّا مَا كَانَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو (يَعْنِي بْنَ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ) فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَكْتُبُ بِيَدِهِ وَيَعِيهِ بِقَلْبِهِ وَكُنْتُ أَعِيهِ بِقَلْبِي وَلَا أَكْتُبُ بِيَدِي، وَاسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْكِتَابِ عَنْهُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ
It is narrated from Mujahid and Mughira bin Hakim, may Allah have mercy on them, they say: We heard Sayyiduna Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, saying: "No one knew the hadiths of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, more than me, except Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-As, may Allah be pleased with them both. The reason for this is that he used to write them down with his hand and memorize them by heart, whereas I used to memorize them by heart but did not write them down." He had sought permission from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, to write, and he, peace and blessings be upon him, granted him permission.
Hadith 298
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ) قَالَ: لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ أَكْثَرَ حَدِيثًا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنِّي إِلَّا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَكْتُبُ وَكُنْتُ لَا أَكْتُبُ
(Second chain) Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, says: "There was no one who knew more of the hadiths of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, than me, except for Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr, may Allah be pleased with them both. The reason for this is that he used to write, and I did not write."
Hadith 299
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ: قَالَ لِي عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ: اكْتُبْ عَنِّي وَلَوْ حَدِيثًا وَاحِدًا مِنْ غَيْرِ كِتَابٍ فَقُلْتُ: لَا وَلَا حَرْفًا
Yahya ibn Ma'in, may Allah have mercy on him, says: Imam Abdur Razzaq, may Allah have mercy on him, said to me: "Write from me, even if it is only one hadith," but I did not have a book. I (Yahya) said: "No, I will not write even a single letter."
