bayhaqi:13191Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū al-Walīd > Ibrāhīm b. ʿAlī > Yaḥyá b. Yaḥyá > Ibn Lahayʿah > Yazīd b. Abū Ḥabīb > Abū Muʾammal Awwal Mukātab Kūtib Fī al-Islām > ʿAhd

[Machine] That Abu Mu'ammal was the first scribe to be appointed in Islam during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Prophet ﷺ said, "Help Abu Mu'ammal and he will be helped in whatever he gives to his writing and there will be a special favor in it." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sought consultation regarding it and ordered him to spend it in the cause of Allah.  

البيهقي:١٣١٩١أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أنبأ ابْنُ لَهَيعَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ

أَنَّ أَبَا مُؤَمَّلٍ أَوَّلُ مُكَاتَبٍ كُوتِبَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَعِينُوا أَبَا مُؤَمَّلٍ فَأُعِينَ مَا أَعْطَى كِتَابَتَهُ وَفَضَلَتْ فَضْلَةٌ فَاسْتَفْتَى فِيهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ
