ahmad:11092Isḥāq b. ʿĪsá > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Zayd from his father > ʿAṭāʾ b. Yasār > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] We heard from the Prophet ﷺ as he came out to us and said, "What are you writing?" We replied, "What we hear from you." He said, "Are you writing something along with the Book of Allah?" We said, "We write what we hear." He said, "Is it writing other than the Book of Allah? Erase the writing of Allah and preserve it." So we gathered what we had written on a single sheet and burned it with fire. We said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, are you speaking about yourself?" He said, "Yes, speak about me without hesitation. And whoever intentionally lies about me, let him secure his place in the Hellfire." We said, "O Messenger of Allah, are you speaking about the Children of Israel?" He said, "Yes, speak about the Children of Israel without hesitation, for surely you do not mention anything about them except that there is something more astonishing than it."  

أحمد:١١٠٩٢حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ كُنَّا قُعُودًا نَكْتُبُ مَا

نَسْمَعُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا تَكْتُبُونَ؟ فَقُلْنَا مَا نَسْمَعُ مِنْكَ فَقَالَ أَكِتَابٌ مَعَ كِتَابِ اللهِ؟ فَقُلْنَا مَا نَسْمَعُ فَقَالَ أَكِتَابٌ غَيْرُ كِتَابَاللهِ امْحِضُوا كِتَابَ اللهِ وَأَخْلِصُوهُ قَالَ فَجَمَعْنَا مَا كَتَبْنَا فِي صَعِيدٍ وَاحِدٍ ثُمَّ أَحْرَقْنَاهُ بِالنَّارِ قُلْنَا أَيْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَتَحَدَّثُ عَنْكَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ تَحَدَّثُوا عَنِّي وَلَا حَرَجَ وَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَتَحَدَّثُ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ تَحَدَّثُوا عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَا حَرَجَ فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تَحَدَّثُونَ عَنْهُمْ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا وَقَدْ كَانَ فِيهِمْ أَعْجَبَ مِنْهُ
