Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ خَارِجَةَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَقَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَتَعَلَّمْتُ لَهُ كِتَابَ يَهُودَ وَقَالَ إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا آمَنُ يَهُودَ عَلَى كِتَابِي فَتَعَلَّمْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَمُرَّ بِي إِلَّا نِصْفُ شَهْرٍ حَتَّى حَذَقْتُهُ فَكُنْتُ أَكْتُبُ لَهُ إِذَا كَتَبَ وَأَقْرَأُ لَهُ إِذَا كُتِبَ إِلَيْهِ
English Translation
Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ahmad bin Yunus] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Abu Az Zinad] dari [Ayahnya] dari [Kharijah bin Zaid bin Tsabit] ia berkata, [Zaid bin Tsabit] berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam memerintahkan aku untuk mempelajari tulisan orang-orang Yahudi. Lalu aku mempelajari penulisan orang-orang Yahudi untuk beliau." Zaid berkata, "Demi Allah, sungguh aku tidak merasa aman kepada orang-orang Yahudi terhadap tulisanku. Lalu aku mempelajarinya, dan hanya berlalu setengah bulan aku telah menguasainya. Lalu aku menuliskan untuknya apabila Beliau (ingin) menulis dan aku membacakan untuknya jika beliau mendapat surat."
