Musnad Abi Ya'la 91 — : After the martyrdom of the Companions

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ السَّبَّاقِ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ :
أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَقْتَلَ أَهْلِ الْيَمَامَةِ ، فَإِذَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : إِنَّ عُمَرَ أَتَانِي فَقَالَ : إِنَّ الْقَتْلَ قَدِ اسْتَحَرَّ يَوْمَ الْيَمَامَةِ بِقُرَّاءِ الْقُرْآنِ ، وَإِنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ يَسْتَحِرَّ الْقَتْلُ بِقُرَّاءِ الْقُرْآنِ فِي الْمَوَاطِنِ ، فَيَذْهَبَ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ، وَإِنِّي أَرَى أَنْ تَأْمُرَ فَيُجْمَعَ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : كَيْفَ أَفْعَلُ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : هُوَ وَاللهِ خَيْرٌ ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُرَاجِعُنِي فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَنْ شَرَحَ اللهُ لِذَلِكَ صَدْرِي ، وَرَأَيْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ الَّذِي رَأَى عُمَرُ ، قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ : قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : إِنَّكَ فَتًى شَابٌّ عَاقِلٌ لَا نَتَّهِمُكَ ، وَقَدْ كُنْتَ تَكْتُبُ الْوَحْيَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَتَتَبَّعِ الْقُرْآنَ فَاجْمَعْهُ ، قَالَ زَيْدٌ : وَاللهِ لَوْ كَلَّفَنِي نَقْلَ جَبَلٍ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ مَا كَانَ أَثْقَلَ عَلَيَّ مِنَ الَّذِي أَمَرَنِي بِهِ مِنْ جَمْعِ الْقُرْآنِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : كَيْفَ تَفْعَلُونَ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : هُوَ وَاللهِ خَيْرٌ ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُرَاجِعُنِي حَتَّى شَرَحَ اللهُ صَدْرِي لِلَّذِي شَرَحَ لَهُ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ، وَرَأَيْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ الَّذِي رَأَيَا ، فَتَتَبَّعْتُ الْقُرْآنَ أَجْمَعُهُ مِنَ الرِّقَاعِ وَاللِّخَافِ وَالْعُسُبِ وَصُدُورِ الرِّجَالِ ، حَتَّى فَقَدْتُ آخِرَ سُورَةِ التَّوْبَةِ فَوَجَدْتُهَا مَعَ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ؛ لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ إِلَى خَاتِمَةِ ( بَرَاءَةٌ ) ، وَكَانَتِ الصُّحُفُ عِنْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ حَيَاتَهُ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللهُ ، ثُمَّ عِنْدَ عُمَرَ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللهُ ، ثُمَّ عِنْدَ حَفْصَةَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that: After the martyrdom of the Companions in the Battle of Yamamah, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) sent for me, and Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was also with him there. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to me and said: 'In the Battle of Yamamah a large number of the reciters of the Qur'an have been martyred, and I fear that if the reciters of the Qur'an continue to be martyred like this in other places too, a large part of the Qur'an will be lost. Therefore my view is that you should issue an order for the Qur'an to be collected.'" I said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): "How can I do something that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do?" He replied: "By Allah! This is entirely good and beneficial." So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) kept coming back to me about it until Allah Almighty opened my breast to this matter, and my view became the same as that of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) related that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me: "You are a sensible young man; we hold no doubt or suspicion of any kind about you, and you used to write down the revelation for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So search out the Qur'an and collect it in one place." Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah! Had he ordered me to move a mountain from one place to another, it would not have been heavier on me than this order to collect the Qur'an." I asked them: "How are you doing something that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do?" He replied: "By Allah! It is good." They kept insisting with me until Allah Almighty opened my breast too to the matter for which He had opened the breasts of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and my view became the same as that of the two of them. So I began searching out the Qur'an and collecting it from palm branches, thin white stones and the breasts of men, until I found the last verses of Surah al-Tawbah with Sayyiduna Khuzaymah bin Thabit al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him): "There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves; grievous to him is what you suffer; he is concerned over you, and to the believers he is kind and merciful," to the end of Surah Bara'ah. Then those compiled sheets remained with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) until his death, then with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) until his death, and after that they remained safe with Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her).
