Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 8396 — When Sayyiduna Uthman issued his order

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا مُعَلَّى بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا أَمَرَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِي اللهُ عَنْهُ فِي الْمَصَاحِفِ بِمَا أَمَرَ، قَامَ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ: {وَمَنْ يَغْلُلْ يَأْتِ بِمَا غَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ} [آل عمران: ١٦١] أَلَا فَغُلُّوا الْمَصَاحِفَ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ مَنْ تَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أَقْرَأَهُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، فَوَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ «لَقَدْ أَخَذْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِضْعًا وَسَبْعِينَ سُورَةً» ، وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ لَهُ ذُؤَابَتَانِ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الصِّبْيَانِ، وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا أَعْلَمُ بِكِتَابِ اللهِ مِنِّي لَأَتَيْتُهُ
Abu Wa'il (may Allah have mercy on him) says: When Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) issued his order concerning the mushafs, Sayyiduna Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up, praised Allah, and then said: O people, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: "And whoever acts unfaithfully will come with what he took unfaithfully on the Day of Resurrection" [Surah Al Imran: 161]. Listen! So hide away the mushafs. Do you order me to recite it according to the recitation of Zayd bin Thabit? By the One besides whom there is no god, I took seventy-odd surahs directly from the blessed mouth of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), while Zayd bin Thabit at that time was a (child) with two locks of hair, playing with the children. By the One besides whom there is no god, if I knew of anyone more knowledgeable than me about the Book of Allah, I would go to him.
