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 صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَتَعَلَّمْتُ لَهُ كِتَابَ يَهُودَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا آمَنُ يَهُودَ عَلَى كِتَابِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتَعَلَّمْتُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ يَمُرَّ بِي إِلَّا نِصْفُ شَهْرٍ حَتَّى حَذَقْتُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكُنْتُ أَكْتُبُ لَهُ إِذَا كَتَبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَقْرَأُ لَهُ إِذَا كُتِبَ إِلَيْهِ .

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم 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 that. I mastered it. I would write for him when he wrote (to them), and read to him when something was written to him.
