حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ : " أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ أَتَعَلَّمَ لَهُ كَلِمَاتٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ يَهُودَ ، قَالَ : إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا آمَنُ يَهُودَ عَلَى كِتَابٍ ، قَالَ : فَمَا مَرَّ بِي نِصْفُ شَهْرٍ ، حَتَّى تَعَلَّمْتُهُ لَهُ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا تَعَلَّمْتُهُ كَانَ إِذَا كَتَبَ إِلَى يَهُودَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ ، وَإِذَا كَتَبُوا إِلَيْهِ قَرَأْتُ لَهُ كِتَابَهُمْ " , قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، رَوَاهُ الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ , قَالَ : أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَنْ أَتَعَلَّمَ السُّرْيَانِيَّةَ " .
´Narrated Zaid bin Thabit:` "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered me to learn some statements from writings of the Jews for him, and he said: 'For indeed by Allah! I do no trust the Jews with my letters.'" He said: "Half a month did not pass before I learned it, when he (ﷺ) wanted to write to the Jews I would write it to them, and when they wrote to him I would read their letters to him."
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
Since whenever something was dictated by the Jews or something was read out by them, in both cases there was a possibility of omission or addition on their part,
it was due to this risk that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) instructed Zayd ibn Thabit (radi Allahu anhu) to learn the language of the Jews.
This risk still remains today,
and at the same time, for the propagation and dissemination of the religion, it is necessary to learn other languages as well.
Therefore, the Muslim Ummah should learn every language of the world.
