Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32073 — Enjoining the Quran

Yazid bin Hayyan said: We came to Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him: "You have indeed seen good: you kept the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and prayed behind him (peace and blessings be upon him)." He said: "Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed us and said: 'I am leaving among you the Book of Allah. It is the rope of Allah. Whoever follows it will be upon guidance, and whoever abandons it will be upon misguidance.'"
