حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ : " اسْتَأْذَنَّا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْكِتَابَةِ فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لَنَا " , قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ أَيْضًا عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، رَوَاهُ هَمَّامٌ , عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ .

Brief Explanation
1؎ : The reason for this is that in the early period of Islam, the ruling was: «لا تكتبوا عني ومن كتب عني غير القرآن فليمحه وحدثوا عني ولا حرج» (Sahih Muslim), meaning: Do not write anything from me except the Qur'an, and whoever has written anything other than the Qur'an should erase it. However, there is no harm in narrating my hadiths. Later, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, through his statement: «بلغوا عني ولو آية», also granted permission for this.
