Abdul Muttalib bin Abdullah, may Allah have mercy on him, narrates that Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit, may Allah be pleased with him, went to Sayyiduna Muawiyah, may Allah be pleased with him, and related a hadith to him. He ordered a man to write down this hadith, but Sayyiduna Zaid, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade writing down his hadith." So he erased it.
