The statement of Matarf regarding the one who made a document and began taking people's acknowledgments based on it.

The reader: The commentator, a trustworthy man, mentioned in it, "Glory be to Allah, this is the slogan of the Muslim Brotherhood." He said, "I heard Qatadah say: Matarf narrated to us, saying: We used to come to Zayd ibn Suhban, and he would say: 'O servants of Allah, be generous and beautiful in your conduct, for the means by which the servants reach Allah are two traits: fear and hope.' So I came to him one day and they had written a document and arranged words in this manner: 'Allah is our Lord, Muhammad is our Prophet, the Qur'an is our guide, and whoever is with us, we are with them, and we are such and such.'"

The Shaykh: It is written in your copy as "and Muhammad."
The reader: Yes, it is written that way.

The Shaykh: That is a mistake.
The reader: Yes, "and Muhammad" (with the accusative case).

The Shaykh : Yes.
The reader: "Allah is our Lord... and the Qur'an is our guide, and whoever is with us, we are with them, and we are such and such, and whoever opposes us, our hand is upon them, and we are such and such." He said: "So he began presenting the document to them, one by one, saying: 'Do you acknowledge, so-and-so?' until they reached me. They said: 'Do you acknowledge, young man?' I said: 'No.' He meant Zayd. He said: 'Do not rush the young man. What do you say, young man?' I said: 'Allah has taken a covenant from me in His Book, so I will not break a covenant other than the one Allah has taken from me.' The people returned from the last of them, and not one of them acknowledged it. They were about thirty persons."
