12 - Chapter on the concession regarding it

2857 - Qutaybah narrated to us, saying: Al-Layth narrated to us, from al-Khalil ibn Murrah, from Yahya ibn Abi Salih, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: There was a man from the Ansar who used to sit with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he would hear the hadith from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and it would impress him, but he could not memorize it. He complained about that to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I hear the hadith from you, and it impresses me, but I cannot memorize it." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "Seek help with your right hand," and he gestured with his hand indicating writing.

= Or that the prohibition is specific to writing other than the Qur'an together with the Qur'an in one thing, and the permission is for separating them.
Or the prohibition came first and the permission abrogates it when safety from confusion is assured, and this is the closest of them, although it does not contradict them.
And it was said: The prohibition is specific to one from whom reliance upon writing instead of memorization is feared, and the permission is for one who is safe from that.
And among them are those who declared the hadith of Abu Sa'id defective, saying: The correct view is that it is mawquf on Abu Sa'id. Al-Bukhari and others said this.
Ibn Hibban said: His prohibition, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, against writing from him other than the Qur'an was intended to encourage the memorization of the Sunnah without relying upon writing it down, abandoning its memorization, and failing to gain understanding in it. The evidence for the soundness of this is his permission, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, for Abu Shah to write the sermon that he heard from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and his permission, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, for 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr to write. See "Fath al-Bari" 1/208.

(1) Its chain is weak due to the weakness of al-Khalil ibn Murrah and the unknown status of Yahya ibn Abi Salih. It was also recorded by Ibn 'Adi 3/928, al-'Uqayli in "al-Du'afa'" 3/83, al-Tabarani in "al-Awsat" (805), Ibn al-A'rabi in his "Mu'jam," and al-Khatib in "al-Jami'" 1/181 =
