Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ أَخْبَرَنَا دُوَيْدٌ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ وَالزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ قَاعِدٌ مَعَهُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَسْمَعُ مِنْكَ أَحَادِيثَ لَا نَحْفَظُهَا أَفَلَا نَكْتُبُهَا قَالَ بَلَى فَاكْتُبُوهَا.
English Translation
Ali ibn Asim told us: Duwayd al-Khurasani informed us, and al-Zubayr ibn Adi was sitting with him, who said: Amr ibn Shu'ayb informed us, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, we hear hadiths from you which we do not memorize; shall we not write them down?" He said, "Yes, write them down."
