[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۔
