عَمْرُو بْنُ أَوْسٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ
[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as part of a delegation from Thaqeef. He used to come out to us at night and talk to us. One night he was delayed in coming out to us, so we said, "O Messenger of Allah, you have been delayed tonight." He said, "A portion of the Quran was revealed to me, and I disliked to sever it until I completed it." When morning came, we asked the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ how they divided the Quran into portions. They said, "Three, five, seven, nine, eleven, thirteen, and everything between Qaf and Al-Quran Al-Majeed is a good way to divide." This is how Al-Walid bin Muslim narrated from Abdullah bin Abdul Rahman At-Ta'ifi from Uthman bin Amr bin Aws from his father, and this was also opposed by Waki' and Quran bin Tamaam and others who narrated from Abdullah bin Abdul Rahman from Uthman bin Amr bin Aws from his father from his grandfather, Aws bin Hudhayfah.
قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وَفْدِ ثَقِيفٍ فَكَانَ يَخْرُجُ إِلَيْنَا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَيُحَدِّثُنَا فَأَبْطَأَ عَلَيْنَا ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَقَدْ أَبْطَأْتَ إِلَيْنَا اللَّيْلَةَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ طَرَأَ عَلَيَّ حِزْبِي مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أقْطَعَهُ حَتَّى أَفْرُغَ مِنْهُ» فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا سَأَلْنَا أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَيْفَ يُحَزِّبُونَ الْقُرْآنَ؟ فَقَالُوا ثَلَاثٌ وَخَمْسٌ وَسَبْعٌ وَتِسْعٌ وَإِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ وَثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ وَمَا بَيْنَ ق وَالْقُرْآنِ الْمَجِيدِ إِلَى آخِرِ الْمُفَصَّلِ حِزْبٌ حَسَنٌ هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الطَّائِفِيِّ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَوْسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَخَالَفَهُ وَكِيعٌ وقُرَّانُ بْنُ تَمَّامٍ وَغَيْرُهُمَا فَرَوَوْهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَوْسِ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ
