حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ خَارِجَةَ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ - قَالَ قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَتَعَلَّمْتُ لَهُ كِتَابَ يَهُودَ وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا آمَنُ يَهُودَ عَلَى كِتَابِي ‏"‏ . فَتَعَلَّمْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَمُرَّ بِي إِلاَّ نِصْفُ شَهْرٍ حَتَّى حَذَقْتُهُ فَكُنْتُ أَكْتُبُ لَهُ إِذَا كَتَبَ وَأَقْرَأُ لَهُ إِذَا كُتِبَ إِلَيْهِ .

English translation
Narrated Zayd ibn Thabit: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered me (to learn the writing of the Jews), so I learnt for him the writing of the Jews. He said: I swear by Allah, I do not trust Jews in respect of writing for me. So I learnt it, and only a fortnight passed before I mastered it. I would write for him when he wrote (to them), and read to him when something was written to him
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। যায়িদ ইবনু সাবিত (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম আমাকে ইয়াহুদীদের লেখা (ভাষা) শিখার আদেশ দিলেন। আমি তদনুযায়ী ইয়াহুদীদের লেখা শিখলাম। তিনি বললেনঃ আল্লাহর শপথ! ইয়াহুদীরা আমার পক্ষ থেকে সঠিক লিখবে বলে আমার বিশ্বাস হচ্ছে না। বর্ণনাকারী বলেন, পনেরো দিন যেতে না যেতেই আমি তাদের লেখা আয়ত্ত করে ফেললাম। তিনি চিঠি পত্র লেখানোর ইচ্ছা করলে আমি লিখে দিতাম এবং তার নিকট চিঠিপত্র এলে আমি তা তাঁকে পড়ে শুনাতাম। হাসান সহীহ।
