السيوطي:١-٤٣٦b

"عن هشام بن عروة قال: لَمَّا اسْتَحرَّ الْقَتْلُ بِالْقُرَّاءِ فَرِقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَى

الْقُرْآنِ أَنْ يَضِيعَ، (فَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ) (*) بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ وَلِزَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، اقْعُدَا عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَمَنْ جَاءَكُمَا بِشَاهِدَيْنِ عَلَى آيَةٍ مِنْ كَتَابِ الله فَاكْتُبَاهُ".  

ابن أبى داود في المصاحف
