حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ
الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ
خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ ، أَنَّ
زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ ، قَالَ : " لَمَّا كُتِبَتْ الْمَصَاحِفُ فَقَدْتُ آيَةً كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَوَجَدْتُهَا عِنْدَ خُزَيْمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ إِلَى تَبْدِيلا سورة الأحزاب آية 23 ، قَالَ فَكَانَ خُزَيْمَةُ يُدْعَى ذَا الشَّهَادَتَيْنِ ،
أَجَازَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَهَادَتَهُ بِشَهَادَةِ رَجُلَيْنِ " ، قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَقُتِلَ يَوْمَ صِفِّينَ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا .
It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that when we were preparing the copies of the Mushaf, I could not find one verse of Surah Ahzab among them which I used to hear the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) recite. I searched for it and found it only with Hazrat Khuzaymah bin Thabit Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), whose testimony the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) considered equal to the testimony of two men. And that verse was: "Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah."
