حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ (٢) ، عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ زَيْدًا، أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّهُ لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ، قَالَ زَيْدٌ: ذُهِبَ بِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُعْجِبَ بِي، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَذَا غُلَامٌ مِنْ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ، مَعَهُ مِمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ بِضْعَ عَشْرَةَ سُورَةً، فَأَعْجَبَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَالَ: "يَا زَيْدُ، تَعَلَّمْ لِي كِتَابَ يَهُودَ، فَإِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا آمَنُ يَهُودَ عَلَى كِتَابِي " قَالَ زَيْدٌ: فَتَعَلَّمْتُ لَهُ كِتَابَهُمْ، مَا مَرَّتْ بِي خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً حَتَّى حَذَقْتُهُ وَكُنْتُ أَقْرَأُ لَهُ (٣) كُتُبَهُمْ إِذَا كَتَبُوا إِلَيْهِ، وَأُجِيبُ عَنْهُ إِذَا كَتَبَ " (٤)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, I was presented to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) was pleased to see me. The people said, "O Messenger of Allah! This boy from Banu Najjar has memorized several surahs of the Qur'an that have been revealed to you." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) was surprised and said, "Zaid! Learn the script of the Jews, for by Allah, I do not trust the Jews regarding my letters." So I began to learn their writing, and not even fifteen days had passed before I had mastered it. I used to read their letters to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), and when the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) would reply, I would write it.
