Hadith 501

أَخْبَرَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَخْنَسِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَكَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَكْتُبُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَسْمَعُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُرِيدُ حِفْظَهُ، فَنَهَتْنِي قُرَيْشٌ، وَقَالُوا: تَكْتُبُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَشَرٌ يَتَكَلَّمُ فِي الْغَضَبِ وَالرِّضَاءِ ؟ فَأَمْسَكْتُ عَنْ الْكِتَابِ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَوْمَأَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ إِلَى فِيهِ، وَقَالَ: "اكْتُبْ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، مَا خَرَجَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا حَقٌّ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I used to write down whatever I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with the intention of memorizing it. Then the Quraysh forbade me and said: You write down whatever you hear from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), even though the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is also a human being and speaks in states of anger and pleasure. So I stopped writing and mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He pointed towards his blessed mouth with his finger and said: "Write! By Him in whose hand is my soul, nothing comes out of it except the truth and righteousness."
