Hadith #18
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِي خَارِجَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ يَقُولُ فُقِدَتْ آيَةٌ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْأَحْزَابِ حِينَ نَسَخْنَا الْمَصَاحِفَ قَدْ كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ بِهَا { رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ } فَالْتَمَسْتُهَا فَوَجَدْتُهَا مَعَ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ فَأَلْحَقْتُهَا فِي سُورَتِهَا فِي الْمُصْحَفِ
English Translation
It was narrated from Zayd ibn Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: 'A verse from Surah al-Ahzab was missing when we copied the masahif — a verse I used to hear the Messenger of Allah ß recite. I found it with Khuzayma al-Ansari: "Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah."'
