قَالَ : وقَالَ ابْنُ سِيرِينَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ :" لَا وَاللَّهِ مَا كَتَبْتُ حَدِيثًا قَطُّ "، قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ : قَالَ لِي ابْنُ سِيرِينَ : عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَرَادَنِي مَرْوَانُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ وَهُوَ أَمِيرٌ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ أَنْ أُكْتِبَهُ شَيْئًا، قَالَ : فَلَمْ أَفْعَلْ، قَالَ : فَجَعَلَ سِتْرًا بَيْنَ مَجْلِسِهِ وَبَيْنَ بَقِيَّةِ دَارِهِ، قَالَ : فَكَانَ أَصْحَابُهُ يَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْهِ، وَيَتَحَدَّثُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ، فَأَقْبَلَ مَرْوَانُ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ، فَقَالَ : مَا أُرَانَا إِلَّا قَدْ خُنَّاهُ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟، قَالَ : مَا أُرَانَا إِلَّا قَدْ خُنَّاكَ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : وَمَا ذَاكَ؟، قَالَ : " إِنَّا أَمَرْنَا رَجُلًا يَقْعُدُ خَلْفَ هَذَا السِّتْرِ، فَيَكْتُبُ مَا تُفْتِي هَؤُلَاءِ وَمَا تَقُولُ "

He said: And Ibn Sirin, may God be pleased with him, said: “No, by God, I have never written a hadith.” Ibn Aoun said: Ibn Sirin said to me: On the authority of Zayd ibn Thabit May God be pleased with him. Marwan bin Al-Hakam, who was the governor of Medina, wanted me to write something to him. He said: I did not do so. He said: So he put a screen between His sitting and the rest of his house, he said: Then his companions used to enter and talk to him in that place, so Marwan approached His companions, and he said: He did not see us except that we had betrayed you. Then he turned to me and said: I said: What is that? He said: He did not see us except that we had betrayed you. He said: I said: And what That one? He said: “We have ordered a man to sit behind this curtain and write down what these people give fatwas and what you say.”
