وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنَ الْيَمَانِ قَدِمَ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ فِي وِلَايَتِهِ، وَكَانَ يَغْزُو مَعَ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ قِبَلَ أَرْمِينِيَةَ وَأَذْرَبِيجَانَ فِي غَزْوِهِمْ ذَلِكَ الْفَرْجَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ وَأَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ فَتَنَازَعُوا فِي الْقُرْآنِ حَتَّى سَمِعَ حُذَيْفَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ مِنَ اخْتِلَافِهِمْ فِيهِ مَا ادَّعُوهُ، فَرَكِبَ حُذَيْفَةُ حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: " يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَدْرِكْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْتَلِفُوا فِي الْقُرْآنِ اخْتِلَافَ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى فِي الْكُتُبِ، فَفَزِعَ لِذَلِكَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ عُمَرَ أَنْ أَرْسِلِي إِلَيْنَا بِالصُّحُفِ الَّتِي جُمِعَ فِيهَا الْقُرْآنُ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ بِهَا إِلَيْهِ حَفْصَةُ، فَأَمَرَ عُثْمَانُ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ، وَسَعِيدَ بْنَ ⦗٦٢⦘ الْعَاصِ، وَعَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ أَنْ يَنْسَخُوهَا فِي الْمَصَاحِفِ " وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: " إِذَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فِي عَرَبِيَّةٍ مِنْ عَرَبِيَّةِ الْقُرْآنِ فَاكْتُبُوهَا بِلِسَانِ قُرَيْشٍ، فَإِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ أُنْزِلَ بِلِسَانِهِمْ، فَفَعَلُوا حَتَّى كُتِبَتِ الْمَصَاحِفُ، ثُمَّ رَدَّ عُثْمَانُ الصُّحُفَ إِلَى حَفْصَةَ، وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى كُلِّ جُنْدٍ مِنْ أَجْنَادِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِمُصْحَفٍ، وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَحْرِقُوا كُلَّ مُصْحَفٍ يُخَالِفُ الْمُصْحَفَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ بِهِ، وَذَلِكَ زَمَانَ أُحْرِقَتِ الْمَصَاحِفُ " لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، وَحَدِيثُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ بِمَعْنَاهُ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ: ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، وَقَالَ فِي رِوَايَةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ: عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ رَدَّ الْمُصْحَفِ إِلَى حَفْصَةَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ، وَذَكَرَهَا فِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ حَمْزَةَ، وَقَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ، فَكَتَبُوا الصُّحُفَ فِي الْمَصَاحِفِ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَى كُلِّ أُفُقٍ بِمُصْحَفٍ، وَأَمَرَ بِمَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فِي كُلِّ صَحِيفَةٍ أَنْ تُمْحَى أَوْ تُحْرَقَ رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْيَمَانِ وَعَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، وَقَالَ فِي الرِّوَايَتَيْنِ جَمِيعًا {مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللهَ عَلَيْهِ} [الأحزاب: ٢٣].
Through this same chain it is narrated from al-Zuhri that he said: Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) informed me that Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) during his caliphate, while he had been taking part in jihad alongside the people of Iraq towards Armenia and Azerbaijan. They were fighting at the frontier of the people of Iraq and the people of Syria, and there the people of Iraq and the people of Syria disagreed about the recitation of the Qur'an, until Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) learned of their disagreement. He was alarmed and immediately set out for Madinah, came to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: O Commander of the Believers, (for Allah's sake) take care of this Ummah before they begin to differ about the Qur'an as the Jews and Christians did.
Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was astonished by this, and he sent a message to the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Hafsah bint Umar (may Allah be pleased with her), asking her to send the mushaf in which the Qur'an had been compiled. Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) sent that mushaf to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit, Sayyiduna Sa'id bin al-As, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr and Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin al-Harith bin Hisham (may Allah be pleased with them) to prepare copies of this Qur'an. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) told them: When you differ with Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the Arabic of the Qur'an, write it in the language of Quraysh, for the Qur'an was revealed in their language and idiom. They did so until the copies were prepared. Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) returned the mushaf of Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) to her, sent one copy to each of the armies of the Muslims, and ordered them that any mushaf differing from the one sent to them should be burned; and in that period copies of the Qur'an were burned.
A similar narration is reported from Ibrahim bin Sa'd (may Allah have mercy on him), but it does not mention the returning of the mushaf to Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her).
In the narration of Ibn Hamzah it is that they wrote the sheets into copies, then he sent one copy to every land, and concerning the recitation in every other sheet besides them, he ordered that it be either erased or burned.
Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated it in his Sahih from Abu al-Yaman, and he also narrated it from Musa bin Isma'il and Ibrahim bin Sa'd (may Allah have mercy on them). In it is: "Among the believers are men who have been true to what they pledged to Allah" [Surah al-Ahzab: 23].
