Hadith 4111

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ: بَعَثَنَا عُثْمَانُ فِي خَمْسِينَ رَاكِبًا، وَأَمِيرُنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى ذِي خَشَبٍ اسْتَقْبَلَنَا رَجُلٌ فِي عُنُقِهِ مُصْحَفٌ، مُتَقَلِّدٌ سَيْفَهُ، تَذْرِفُ عَيْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ هَذَا يَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ نَضْرِبَ بِهَذَا - يَعْنِي السَّيْفَ - عَلَى مَا فِي هَذَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ مُحَمَّدٌ: «اجْلِسْ فَنَحْنُ قَدْ ضَرَبْنَا بِهَذَا عَلَى مَا فِي هَذَا قَبْلَكَ أَوْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُولَدَ» قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ حَتَّى رَجَعُوا قَالَ عَمْرٌو: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ: فَزَعَمُوا أَنَّهُمْ وَجَدُوا كِتَابًا إِلَى ابْنِ سَعْدٍ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) sent us with fifty horsemen, and the commander was Muhammad bin Maslamah. When we reached Dhi Khushub, we met a man who had the Qur'an hanging from his neck and tears were flowing from his eyes. He said: "We are being told to attack the Qur'an with the sword." Muhammad said: "Sit down, we have already raised the sword for the Qur'an before you." Then he turned them back with his words. Jabir said: "It is said that they received a letter addressed to Ibn Sa'd."
