[Machine] I read from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seventy surahs, and that Zaid ibn Thabit had two wolves in his writing kit that he would play with the children.
"قَرأتُ مِنْ فِى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً وَأَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثابتٍ لَه [ذُؤابَتَانِ] (*) فِى الْكُتَّابِ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الصِّبْيَانِ".

"According to whose recitation do you want me to recite? Because I recited seventy-odd Surahs to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] when Zaid had two braids, and was playing with the other boys."
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ مَنْ تَأْمُرُونِّي أَقْرَأُ لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِضْعًا وَسَبْعِينَ سُورَةً وَإِنَّ زَيْدًا لَصَاحِبُ ذُؤَابَتَيْنِ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الصِّبْيَانِ
"Ibn Mas'ud addressed us and said: 'How do you want me to recite? According to the recitation of Zaid bin Thabit, when I learned seventy-odd Surahs from the mouth of the Messenger of Allah [SAW] while Zaid was with the other boys with two braids?'"
كَيْفَ تَأْمُرُونِّي أَقْرَأُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ بَعْدَ مَا قَرَأْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِضْعًا وَسَبْعِينَ سُورَةً وَإِنَّ زَيْدًا مَعَ الْغِلْمَانِ لَهُ ذُؤَابَتَانِ
I read from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seventy Surahs, and Zaid ibn Thabit had excellence in writing them down.
قَرَأْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً وَإِنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ لَهُ ذُؤَابَةٌ فِي الْكُتَّابِ
[Machine] I have taken seventy-two surahs from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Zaid ibn Thabit is a boy who has two scattered front teeth and plays with the boys.
لَقَدْ أَخَذْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِضْعًا وَسَبْعِينَ سُورَةً وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ غُلَامٌ لَهُ ذُؤَابَتَانِ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الْغِلْمَانِ
[Machine] Abdullah, I read from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seventy surahs, and Zaid bin Thabit had a special position in writing them.
عَبْدُ اللهِ قَرَأْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ لَهُ ذُؤَابَةٌ فِي الْكُتَّابِ
Then Abū Bakr came to him with a carved rock, so he collected water in it and Abū Bakr and I drank from it. Then I went to him afterwards and said, "Teach me from this Quran." He said, "Indeed, you are a young boy to be taught." I then took from him seventy surahs."
فَأَتَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِصَخْرَةٍ مَنْقُورَةٍ فَاحْتَلَبَ فِيهَا فَشَرِبَ وَشَرِبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَشَرِبْتُ۔ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ: عَلِّمْنِي مِنْ هَذَا الْقُرْآنِ۔ قَالَ: «إِنَّكَ غُلَامٌ مُعَلَّمٌ۔» قَالَ: فَأَخَذْتُ مِنْ فِيهِ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً۔
I have taken from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seventy Surahs and no one disputes with me regarding them.
أَخَذْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً وَلَا يُنَازِعُنِي فِيهَا أَحَدٌ
I have taken from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seventy surahs in which no one disputes with me.
أَخَذْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً لَا يُنَازِعُنِي فِيهَا أَحَدٌ
[Machine] I have read from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seventy surahs, and indeed Zaid ibn Thabit had the best recitation among them.
عَبْدُ اللهِ قَرَأْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً وَإِنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ لَهُ ذُؤَابَةٌ فِي الْكُتَّابِ
[Machine] "Abdullah ibn Mas'ood said: 'I have read 70 chapters from the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ Quran.' And Zaid ibn Thabit, who had two weak calves, used to play with the children."
قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ «لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً» وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ذُو ذُؤَابَتَيْنِ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الصِّبْيَانِ
[Machine] I heard Abdullah ibn Mas'ood say: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited to me seventy Surahs, which I had memorized before Zaid ibn Thabit embraced Islam." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about this in his summary.
سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ «أَقْرَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً أَحْكَمْتُهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ»
I have read seventy or so surahs on the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and indeed Zaid has two fosterings to play with the boys.
قَرَأْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِضْعَةً وَسَبْعِينَ سُورَةً وَإِنَّ زَيْدًا لَهُ ذُؤَابَتَانِ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الصِّبْيَانِ۔
[Machine] When Uthman commanded regarding the copies of the Quran as he was commanded, Abdullah stood up and praised Allah. Then he said, "O people, surely Allah says, 'And whoever commits a sin only earns it against himself. And Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.' So commit transgression with the copies of the Quran upon the recitation of the one whom I command to recite it upon the recitation of Zaid bin Thabit. By He in whose hands is my soul, I have taken from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seventy surahs. And Zaid bin Thabit has two things, he plays with the boys, and by He in whose hands is my soul, if I knew anyone more knowledgeable in the Book of Allah than me, I would come to him."
لَمَّا أَمَرَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ فِي الْمَصَاحِفِ بِمَا أَمَرَ قَامَ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يَقُولُ {وَمَنْ يَغْلُلْ يَأْتِ بِمَا غَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ} أَلَا فَغُلُّوا الْمَصَاحِفَ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ مَنْ تَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أَقْرَأَهُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ۔ فَوَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَقَدْ أَخَذْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِضْعًا وَسَبْعِينَ سُورَةً وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ لَهُ ذُؤَابَتَانِ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الصِّبْيَانِ وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا أَعْلَمُ بِكِتَابِ اللهِ مِنِّي لَأَتَيْتُهُ۔
[Machine] It was asked of Abdullah, "Read according to the recitation of Zaid." He said, "Should I abandon my recitation for the recitation of Zaid? I have read seventy Surahs from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he was a young boy and he had two twisted hairs."
قِيلَ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ اقْرَأْ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ «أتْرُكُ قِرَاءَتِي لِقِرَاءَةِ زَيْدٍ وَقَرَأْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً وَهُوَ غُلَامٌ لَهُ ذُؤَابَتَانِ؟»
[Machine] "I have read seventy surahs from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and Zaid ibn Thabit has two scrolls in the Book."
«لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً» وَإِنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ لَهُ ذُؤَابَتَانِ فِي الْكِتَابِ
[Machine] Abdullah said, "I have read from the Prophet ﷺ seventy surahs," and Zaid bin Thabit, with a small bird, plays with the children.
قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ مِنْ فِي النَّبِيِّ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً» وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ذُو ذُؤَابَةٍ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الصِّبْيَانِ
[Machine] On whose reading am I ordered to read? "I have read seventy surahs to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." And indeed, Zaid bin Thabit is a companion of the wolves who plays with the boys.
عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ مَنْ يَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أَقْرَأَ؟ «لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً» وَإِنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ لَصَاحِبُ ذُؤَابَةٍ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الْغِلْمَانِ
[Machine] He heard Abdullah ibn Mas'ood say, "I have received from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seventy Surahs." I memorized them before Zaid ibn Thabit, who had a stutter, had mastered them and was playing with the boys.
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ «لَقَدْ تَلَقَّيْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً» أَحْكَمْتُهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ لَهُ ذُؤَابَةٌ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الصِّبْيَانِ
[Machine] "Wondrous it is for people to abandon my recitation and prefer the recitation of Zaid ibn Thabit, even though I have received seventy surahs from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Zaid ibn Thabit is a young man with a lisp."
عَجَبًا لِلنَّاسِ وَتَرْكِهِمْ قِرَاءَتِي وَأَخْذِهِمْ قِرَاءَةَ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ «وَقَدْ أَخَذْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً» وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ غُلَامٌ صَاحِبُ ذُؤَابَةٍ
[Machine] "Abdullah ibn Mas'ood said, 'I have read seventy-two surahs from the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ .' And indeed, Zaid ibn Thabit had two notebooks."
قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ «لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِضْعًا وَسَبْعِينَ سُورَةً» وَإِنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ لَهُ ذُؤَابَتَانِ
I have taken seventy chapters from the Prophet ﷺ in which no one disputes with me.
أَخَذْتُ مِنْ فِي النَّبِيِّ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً لَا يُنَازِعُنِي فِيهَا أَحَدٌ
I have read from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seventy surahs.
«قَرَأْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً»
[Machine] "I have read seventy-two surahs during the time of the Prophet ﷺ. And Zaid ibn Thabit had two helpers who used to play with the children."
«لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِضْعًا وَسَبْعِينَ سُورَةً» وَإِنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ لَهُ ذُؤَابَتَانِ يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الصِّبْيَانِ
[Machine] "I have read from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seventy surahs. And indeed, Zaid bin Thabit is a disbeliever in Allah as he did not believe in it."
«لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً» وَإِنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ لَكَافِرٌ بِاللهِ مَا آمَنَ بِهِ
I have read seventy surahs from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I completed the recitation of the Quran with the best of people, Ali ibn Abi Talib.
«قَرَأْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً» وَخَتَمْتُ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى خَيْرِ النَّاسِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ
[Machine] I have read from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seventy Surahs.
كَيْفَ تَأْمُرُونِي أَنِ اقْرَأَ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ؟ قَالَ:لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً۔
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ passed by me while I was herding sheep for Uqbah. He wiped my head and said, "May Allah have mercy on you, for you are a diligent teacher."
مَرَّ بِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَنَا فِي غَنَمٍ لِعُقْبَةَ فَمَسَحَ رَأْسِي وَقَالَ «يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ إِنَّكَ غُلَيْمٌ مُعَلَّمٌ»
"Ibn Mas'ud addressed us and said: 'How do you want me to recite? According to the recitation of Zaid bin Thabit, when I learned seventy-odd Surahs from the mouth of the Messenger of Allah [SAW] while Zaid was with the other boys with two braids?'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5064)
«كَيْفَ تَأْمُرُونِي أَقْرَأُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ بَعْدَمَا قَرَأْتُ مِنْ فِيِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِضْعًا وَسَبْعِينَ سُورَةً وَإِنَّ زَيْدًا مَعَ الْغِلْمَانِ لَهُ ذُؤَابَتَانِ»
"يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّه، فَإِنَّكَ عَلِيمٌ مُعَلِّمٌ".
Read to me, O Messenger of Allah, seventy verses that I have memorized before Zaid ibn Thabit accepts Islam.
أقْرأَنِى رَسُولُ الله ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً أَحكَمْتُها قَبلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ
