Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ خُمَيْرِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ أُمِرَ بِالْمَصَاحِفِ أَنْ تُغَيَّرَ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ مَنْ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَغُلَّ مُصْحَفَهُ فَلْيَغُلَّهُ فَإِنَّ مَنْ غَلَّ شَيْئًا جَاءَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ مِنْ فَمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً أَفَأَتْرُكُ مَا أَخَذْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
English Translation
When the order was given that the copies of the Quran be changed, Ibn Mas'ud said: 'Whoever among you can conceal his copy, let him conceal it, for whoever conceals something will come with it on the Day of Resurrection.' Then he said: 'I learned seventy surahs directly from the mouth of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). Should I abandon what I took from the very mouth of the Messenger of Allah?'
