(تَعَلُّمُ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ اللُّغَةَ الْعِبْرِيَّةَ فِي خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا)
(Zaid ibn Thabit, may Allah be pleased with him, learning Hebrew in fifteen days)
Hadith Number: 4659
4659 - وعنه، قال: امرني رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - ان اتعلم السريانية ، وفي رواية: إنه امرني ان اتعلم كتاب يهود، وقال:"إني ما آمن يهود على كتاب". قال: فما مر بي نصف شهر حتى تعلمت، فكان إذا كتب إلى يهود كتبت، وإذا كتبوا إليه قرات له كتابهم. رواه الترمذي.
Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed me to learn the Syriac language. In another narration, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said that I should learn the writing of the Jews, and he said: "I fear for the writing of the Jews." Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I learned their language in less than half a month. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote letters to the Jews, I would write them, and when they wrote letters to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I would read their letters to him. Its chain is Hasan. Narrated by al-Tirmidhi.
