Chapter 26 · Knowledge (Kitab Al-Ilm)حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَنْطَبٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ عَلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ حَدِيثٍ، فَأَمَرَ إِنْسَانًا يَكْتُبُهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ زَيْدٌ: إِنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ لَا نَكْتُبَ شَيْئًا مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ، فَمَحَاهُ .

Zayd ibn Thabit رضی اللہ عنہ entered upon Muawiyah and asked him about a tradition. He ordered a man to write it. Zayd رضی اللہ عنہ said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ordered us not to write any of his traditions. So he erased it.
