English translation
4049. Narrated Zaid bin Thābit رضي الله عنه: When we wrote the Qur'ān, I missed one of the Verses of Sūrat Al-Ahzāb which I used to hear Allāh's Messenger ﷺ reciting. Then we searched for it and found it with Khuzaima bin Thābit Al-Anṣārī. The Verse was: "Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allāh [i.e., they had gone out for Jihād (holy fighting), and showed not their backs to the disbelievers] of them, some have fulfilled their obligations to Allāh (i.e., they have been martyred), and some of them are still waiting...) (V.33:23) So we wrote this in its place in the Qur'an.
