حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَنْطَبٍ قَالَدَخَلَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ عَلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ حَدِيثٍ فَأَمَرَ إِنْسَانًا يَكْتُبُهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ زَيْدٌ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ لَا نَكْتُبَ شَيْئًا مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ فَمَحَاهُ
English Translation
Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Nashr bin Ali] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Abu Ahmad] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Katsir bin Zaid] dari [Al Muththalib bin Abdullah bin Hanthab] ia berkata, " [Zaid bin Tsabit] datang menemui Mu'awiyah dan bertanya kepadanya tentang suatu hadits, dan ia memerintahkan seseorang agar menulisnya. Zaid lalu berkata kepadanya, "Sesungguhnya Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam memerintahkan kami agar tidak menulis apapun dari hadits beliau." Maka Mu'awiyah pun menghapusnya kembali."
