قال تعالى: {إِنَّا أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ كَمَا أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى نُوحٍ وَالنَّبِيِّينَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ}. [النساء:163]
423 - (ق) عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم: (ما مِنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ نَبِيٌّ إِلاَّ أُعْطِيَ ما مِثْلُه آمَنَ عَلَيْهِ الْبَشَرُ، وإِنَّمَا كانَ الَّذِي أُوتِيتُهُ وَحْياً أَوْحاهُ اللهُ إِلَيَّ، فَأَرْجُو أَنْ أَكُونَ أَكْثَرَهُمْ تَابِعَاً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ) .
424 - (ق) عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مالِكٍ رضي الله عنه: أَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى تَابَعَ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم الْوَحْيَ قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ، حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ أَكْثَرَ ما كانَ الْوَحْيُ، ثمَّ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم بَعْدُ.
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Allah, Exalted and Glorified, sent down the Divine Revelation to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) abundantly during the period preceding his death until he died at a time when the revelation had never been more abundant.
428 - (خ) عَنْ عَبْدِ العَزِيزِ بْنِ رُفَيْعٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَشَدَّادُ بْنُ مَعْقِلٍ عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رضي الله عنهما، فَقَالَ لَهُ شَدَّادُ بْنُ مَعْقلٍ: أَتَرَكَ النَّبِيُّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالَ: ما تَرَكَ إِلاَّ ما بَيْنَ الدَّفَّتَيْنِ
[1]
.
قَالَ: وَدَخَلْنَا عَلَى محَمَّدِ ابْنِ الحَنَفِيَّةِ، فَسَأَلْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ: ما تَرَكَ إِلاَّ ما بَيْنَ الدَّفَّتَيْنِ.
‘Abd al-‘Azīz ibn Rufay‘ reported: Shaddād ibn Ma‘qil and I entered upon Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him). Shaddād ibn Ma‘qil asked him: "Did the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) leave anything (besides the Qur’an)?" They said: "He did not leave anything except what is between the two bindings (of the Qur’an)." Then we visited Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah and asked him (the same question). He replied: "The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave except what is between the bindings (of the Qur’an)."
435 - (خ) عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ: بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَقْتَلَ أَهْلِ الْيَمامَةِ وَعِنْدَهُ عُمَرُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: إِنَّ عُمَرَ أَتَانِي فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الْقَتْلَ قَدِ اسْتَحَرَّ يَوْمَ الْيَمَامَةِ بِقُرَّاءِ الْقُرْآنِ، وَإِنِّي أَخْشى أَنْ يَسْتَحِرَّ الْقَتْلُ بِقُرَّاءِ الْقُرْآنِ فِي المَوَاطِنِ كُلِّهَا، فَيَذْهَبَ قُرْآنٌ كَثِيرٌ، وَإِنِّي أَرَى أَنْ تَأْمُرَ بِجَمْعِ الْقُرْآنِ، قُلْتُ: كَيْفَ أَفْعَلُ شَيْئاً لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: هُوَ وَاللهِ خَيْرٌ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ عُمَرُ يُرَاجِعُنِي في ذلِكَ حَتَّى شَرَحَ اللهُ صَدْرِي لِلَّذِي شَرَحَ لَهُ صَدْرَ عُمَرَ، وَرَأَيْتُ في ذلِكَ الَّذِي رَأَى عُمَرُ.
قال زَيْدٌ: قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: وَإِنَّكَ رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ عَاقِلٌ لاَ نَتَّهِمُكَ، قَدْ كُنْتَ تَكْتُبُ الْوَحْيَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم، فَتَتَبَّعِ الْقُرْآنَ، فَاجْمَعْهُ.
قَالَ زَيْدٌ: فَوَاللهِ! لَوْ كَلَّفَنِي نَقْلَ جَبَلٍ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ مَا كانَ بِأَثْقَلَ عَلَيَّ مِمَّا كَلَّفَنِي مِنْ جَمْعِ الْقُرْآنِ. قُلْتُ: كَيْفَ تَفْعَلاَنِ شَيْئاً لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم؟ قَالَ أَبُو بكْرٍ: هُوَ وَاللهِ خَيْرٌ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يحُثُّ مُرَاجَعَتِي حَتَّى شَرَحَ اللهُ صَدْرِي لِلَّذِي شَرَحَ اللهُ لَهُ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ، وَرَأَيْتُ في ذلِكَ الَّذِي رَأَيَا.
فَتَتَبَّعْتُ الْقُرْآنَ أَجْمَعُهُ مِنَ الْعُسُبِ

وَصُدُورِ الرِّجالِ، فَوَجَدْتُ آخِرَ سُورَةِ التَّوْبَةِ: {لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ} [التوبة:128] إِلَى آخِرِهَا مَعَ خُزَيْمَةَ ـ أَوْ أَبِي خُزَيْمَةَ ـ فَأَلْحَقْتُهَا في سُورَتِهَا، فَكَانَتِ الصُّحُفُ عِنْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ حَيَاتَهُ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللهُ عزّ وجل، ثُمَّ عِنْدَ عُمَرَ حَيَاتَهُ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللهُ، ثُمَّ عِنْدَ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ عُمَرَ.
Zayd ibn Thābit al-Ansāri (may Allah be pleased with him) one of the scribes of the Qur'an, reported: Abu Bakr as-Siddīq sent for me when the people (of the battle) of Yamāmah were killed. I found ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb sitting with him. Abu Bakr said: "‘Umar came to me and said: 'The death toll was heavy on the day of (the battle of) Yamāmah and I feared that many of the memorizers of the Qur'an would be killed on other battlefields, and a large part of the Qur'an might be lost unless you collect it. Can I suggest that you collect it?' I said to ‘Umar: 'How could I do something that the Messenger of Allah had not done?' ‘Umar said: 'By Allah, this is good.' ‘Umar kept on debating with me until Allah opened my heart to it and I accepted ‘Umar’s point of view." Then Abu Bakr said: "While ‘Umar was sitting with him silently: 'You are a wise young man and we do not have any suspicions about you. You used to write the revelation for the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). So track down the Qur'an and collect it.' By Allah, had he ordered me to move one of the mountains, it would not have been harder on me than what he ordered me to do in collecting the Qur'an." I said to Abu Bakr: "How could you do something that the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) had not done?" Abu Bakr replied: "By Allah, this is good." Abu Bakr kept on talking to me about it until Allah opened my heart to what He had opened the hearts of Abu Bakr and ‘Umar to. So I tracked down the Qur'an, collecting it (written) on parchment, shoulder blades, and palm stalks, and from the hearts of men, until I found these last two verses of Sūrat At-Tawbah from Khuzaymah al-Ansāri; I did not find them with anyone else: {There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is what you suffer, [he is] concerned over you...} until the end of the two verses [Sūrat At-Tawbah: 128-129]. The sheets on which the Qur'an was collected remained with Abu Bakr until he died, then with ‘Umar until he died, and then with Hafsah, the daughter of ‘Umar.
