Sahifah Sadiqah
A large number of sources (at-Tirmidhi, AbuDawud, etc.) narrate that 'Abdallah ibn 'Amir ibn al-'As, a young Meccan, had the habit of writing all that the Prophet used to say. One day his comrades rebuked him,saying that the Prophet was a h u m a n being, he could sometimes be happy and satisfied, at other times annoyed, and that it was not desirable that one should note indiscriminately all that he uttered. 'Abdallah went to the Prophet and asked him if one could note all that he said. He replied: " Y e s " 'Abdallah persisted: Even when thou art happy and satisfied, even when thou art annoyed ? The Prophet" said : "Of course ; by G o d ! Nothing that comes out of this mouth is ever a lie." 'Abdallah gave his compilation, the name of "Sahifah Sadiqah." (the book of truth). F o r several generations it was taught and transmitted as an independent work ; it was later incorporated into the larger collectioi s of the Hadith compiled by Ibn Hanbal and others. Ad-Darimi reports : Once 'Abdallah had his pupils around him and somebody asked : Which of the two cities will be captured by Muslims first, R o m e or Constantinople ? 'Abdallah caused an old box to be brought to him, took a book out of it, and having turned its pages awhile, read as follows : "One day when we were sitting around the Prophet o write down what he was saying, someone asked him : Which of the two cities will be captured first, R o m e or Constantinople ? He replied : The city of the descendants of Heraclius." This narration definitely proves that the companions of the Prophet were interested, even during his lifetime in writing down his very words.
