أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي السَّرِيِّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الطُّفَيْلِ عَامِرُ بْنُ وَاثِلَةَ ، أَنَّ نَافِعَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْحَارِثِ ، تَلَقَّى عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ إِلَى عُسْفَانَ ، وَكَانَ نَافِعٌ عَامِلا لِعُمَرَ عَلَى مَكَّةَ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : مَنِ اسْتَخْلَفْتَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْوَادِي ؟ يَعْنِي أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ ، قَالَ : ابْنَ أَبْزَى ، قَالَ : وَمَنِ ابْنُ أَبْزَى ؟ قَالَ : رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمَوَالِي ، قَالَ عُمَرُ : اسْتَخْلَفْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَوْلًى ؟ ! فَقَالَ لَهُ : إِنَّهُ قَارِئٌ لِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ : أَمَا إِنَّ نَبِيَّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَرْفَعُ بِهَذَا الْقُرْآنِ أَقْوَامًا ، وَيَضَعُ بِهِ آخَرِينَ " .
Abu Tufail narrates: Nafi’ bin ‘Abd al-Harith met Sayyiduna ‘Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) at the place of ‘Usfan. Nafi’ was the governor of Makkah Mukarramah on behalf of Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) inquired: Whom have you appointed as your deputy in Makkah in your absence? He replied: Ibn Abza. Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Who is Ibn Abza? He replied: A freed slave. Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You have appointed a freed slave as deputy over those people? Nafi’ explained to him that he is a scholar of Allah’s Book. Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Your Prophet has stated this: “Indeed, Allah elevates some people by this Qur’an and lowers others by it.”
