(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ السَّبَّاقِ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ : أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ مَقْتَلَ أَهْلِ الْيَمَامَةِ ، فَإِذَا عُمَرُ عِنْدَهُ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : إِنَّ عُمَرَ أَتَانِي ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ الْقَتْلَ قَدْ اسْتَحَرَّ بِأَهْلِ الْيَمَامَةِ مِنْ قُرَّاءِ الْقُرْآنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، وَأَنَا أَخْشَى أَنْ يَسْتَحِرَّ الْقَتْلُ بِالْقُرَّاءِ فِي الْمَوَاطِنِ ، فَيَذْهَبَ قُرْآنٌ كَثِيرٌ لَا يُوعَى ، وَإِنِّي أَرَى أَنْ تَأْمُرَ بِجَمْعِ الْقُرْآنِ ، فَقُلْتُ لِعُمَرَ : وَكَيْفَ أَفْعَلُ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فَقَالَ : هُوَ وَاللَّهِ خَيْرٌ ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُرَاجِعُنِي فِي ذَلِكَ حَتَّى شَرَحَ اللَّهُ بِذَلِكَ صَدْرِي ، وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهِ الَّذِي رَأَى عُمَرُ ، قَالَ زَيْدٌ : وَعُمَرُ عِنْدَهُ جَالِسٌ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : إِنَّكَ شَابٌّ عَاقِلٌ لَا نَتَّهِمُكَ ، وَقَدْ كُنْتَ تَكْتُبُ الْوَحْيَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَاجْمَعْهُ . قَالَ زَيْدٌ : فَوَاللَّهِ لَوْ كَلَّفُونِي نَقْلَ جَبَلٍ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ ، مَا كَانَ بِأَثْقَلَ عَلَيَّ مِمَّا أَمَرَنِي بِهِ مِنْ جَمْعِ الْقُرْآنِ ، فَقُلْتُ : كَيْفَ تَفْعَلُونَ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a messenger to me with the news of the martyrs of the Battle of Yamama. When I presented myself before him, Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) was also present there. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) began the conversation and said: Umar came to me and said that there was a fierce battle in Yamama and a large number of the reciters (Qurra) among the Muslims were martyred. I fear that if the Qurra continue to be martyred in different places in this way, the Qur'an may be lost, as there may not remain anyone who has memorized it. Therefore, my opinion is that I should advise you to collect the Qur'an. I said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): How can I do something which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not do? But he said to me: By Allah! This is nothing but good, and he continued to insist upon me regarding this matter until Allah Almighty opened my heart to it, and my opinion became the same as that of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) says that Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) was also present there, but out of respect for Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), he did not speak. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) himself said: You are a wise young man and you have also served as the scribe of revelation for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so you should carry out the task of collecting the Qur'an. Sayyiduna Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) says: By Allah! If they had ordered me to move a mountain from its place, it would not have been heavier upon me than this command to collect the Qur'an. So I also said to them: How can you do something which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not do? (But when my heart was also opened to it, I began this work and completed it.)
