وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الْعَتَكِيُّ، وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ تُسَافِرُوا بِالْقُرْآنِ فَإِنِّي لاَ آمَنُ أَنْ يَنَالَهُ الْعَدُوُّ " . قَالَ أَيُّوبُ فَقَدْ نَالَهُ الْعَدُوُّ وَخَاصَمُوكُمْ بِهِ .
Translation
Abu al-Rabi al-Ataki and Abu Kamil said: Hammad narrated to us, from Ayyub, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Do not travel with the Quran, for I cannot be sure the enemy will not seize it.” Ayyub said: The enemy did seize it and argued with you by means of it.
