أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نَصْرٍ اللَّبَّادُ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ طَلْحَةَ، ثنا أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ، وَأَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَعَنْ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنْ نَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرَ التَّفْسِيرَ، وَقَالَ فِي قِصَّةِ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامُ: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَكْتُبُونَ التَّوْرَاةَ إِذَا جَاءُوا إِلَيْهِمْ بِإِنْسَانٍ يُجَرِّبُونَهُ اقْتَرَعُوا عَلَيْهِ، أَيُّهُمْ يَأْخُذُهُ، فَيُعَلِّمُهُ؟ وَكَانَ زَكَرِيَّا أَفْضَلَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ، وَكَانَ نَبِيَّهُمْ، وَكَانَتْ أُخْتُ مَرْيَمَ تَحْتَهُ، فَلَمَّا أَتَوْا بِهَا، قَالَ لَهُمْ زَكَرِيَّا: أَنَا أَحَقُّكُمْ بِهَا، تَحْتِي أُخْتُهَا، فَأَبَوْا، فَخَرَجُوا إِلَى نَهْرِ الْأُرْدُنِّ، فَأَلْقَوْا أَقْلَامَهُمُ الَّتِي يَكْتُبُونَ بِهَا، أَيُّهُمْ يَقُومُ قَلَمُهُ فَيَكْفُلَهَا؟ فَجَرَتِ الْأَقْلَامُ، وَقَامَ قَلَمُ زَكَرِيَّا عَلَى قُرْنَتِهِ كَأَنَّهُ فِي طِينٍ، فَأَخَذَ الْجَارِيَةَ..
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates its explanation from the Companions: Concerning the story of Maryam: those people who used to write the Torah, when a person was brought to them, would test him by drawing lots over him to decide who would teach him. Sayyiduna Zakariyya (peace be upon him) was the most virtuous of them and was also a prophet, and the sister of Maryam was married to him. When they brought her, Sayyiduna Zakariyya (peace be upon him) said: "I am more entitled than you, because her sister is married to me." But they still refused, so they went to the River Jordan and cast into the river the pens with which they used to write the Torah, (to decide) who would take charge of her. The pens were carried along by the current, but the pen of Sayyiduna Zakariyya (peace be upon him) stood upright on its tip as though it were in mud, so Sayyiduna Zakariyya (peace be upon him) took the girl.
