Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ قَالَ وَجَدْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي بِخَطِّ يَدِهِ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ أَخْبَرَنِي خَارِجَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ لَمَّا نَسَخْنَا الْمَصَاحِفَ فُقِدَتْ آيَةٌ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْأَحْزَابِ قَدْ كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ بِهَا فَالْتَمَسْتُهَا فَلَمْ أَجِدْهَا مَعَ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا مَعَ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ الَّذِي جَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَهَادَتَهُ شَهَادَةَ رَجُلَيْنِ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ { مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ }.
English Translation
Abdullah said: I found this hadith in my father's book in his own handwriting: Al-Hakam ibn Nafi' told us: Shu'ayb told us, from al-Zuhri: Kharijah ibn Zayd told me that Zayd ibn Thabit said: 'When we copied the mushafs, a verse from Surat al-Ahzab was missing. I used to hear the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, recite it, so I searched for it and did not find it with anyone except Khuzaymah ibn Thabit al-Ansari, whose testimony the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, made equal to the testimony of two men - the word of Allah, Mighty and Majestic: "Among the believers are men who have been true to what they pledged to Allah."'
