Hayyan, regarding His saying: "And let no scribe refuse to write as Allah has taught him," he said: If a scribe has a personal need and another person is found, he should depart for his need and someone else should be sought. This is because scribes in that era were few.
His saying: "to write"
2962 - Abu Zur'ah narrated to us, 'Amr b. Hammad reported to us, Asbat reported to us, from al-Suddi, regarding the saying of Allah: "And let no scribe refuse to write," he said: If he is free.

[The first interpretation]
2966 - My father narrated to us, Yahya b. 'Abd Allah reported to us, Ibn Lahi'ah narrated to me, 'Ata' b. Dinar narrated to me, from Sa'id b. Jubayr, regarding "and let him dictate, the one who bears the obligation," meaning the debtor. He says: Let him dictate what he owes of the obligation to the scribe, from the right of the debtor.
It is also narrated from al-Dahhak something similar.
And the second interpretation:
2967 - My father narrated to us, Yunus b. 'Abd al-A'la reported to us, from al-Shafi'i, regarding His saying: "and let him dictate, the one who bears the obligation," its meaning is that he confesses [and] acknowledges the obligation; it does not mean that he dictates.

٢٩٦١ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ، ثنا صَفْوَانُ، ثنا الْوَلِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنِي بُكَيْرُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ مُقَاتِلِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ، فِي قَوْلِهِ: وَلا يَأْبَ كَاتِبٌ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ كَمَا عَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ:
الْكَاتِبُ إِذَا كَانَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةً وَوُجِدَ غَيْرُهُ، فَلْيَمْضِ لِحَاجَتِهِ وَيُلْتَمَسُ غَيْرُهُ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْكُتَّابَ فِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ، كَانُوا قَلِيلا.
قَولُهُ: أَنْ يَكْتُبَ
٢٩٦٢ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، ثنا أَسْبَاطٌ، عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ، فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ: وَلا يَأْبَ كَاتِبٌ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ قَالَ: إِنْ كَانَ فَارِغًا.
قَوْلُهُ: كَمَا عَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ
٢٩٦٣ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ: وَلا يَأْبَ كَاتِبٌ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ كَمَا عَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ الْكِتَابَةَ وَتَرْكَ غَيْرِهِ.
٢٩٦٤ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ هَارُونَ، ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ، ثنا أَبُو زُهَيْرٍ عَنْ جُوَيْبِرٍ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ وَلَا يَأْبَ كاتب أن يكتب كما علمه اللَّهُ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ.
قَوْلُهُ: فَلْيَكْتُبْ
٢٩٦٥ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أبيه، عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ، قَوْلُهُ: فَلْيَكْتُبْ فَكَانَ هَذَا وَاجِبًا.
[قوله: وليملل]
[الوجه الأول]

وَرُوِيَ عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ، نَحْوُ ذَلِكَ.
وَالْوَجْهُ الثَّانِي:
٢٩٦٧ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، عَنِ الشَّافِعِيِّ، فِي قَوْلِهِ:
وَلْيُمْلِلِ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ الْحَقُّ إِنَّمَا مَعْنَاهُ أَنْ يُقِرَّ، قَطُّ، بِالْحَقِّ، لَيْسَ مَعْنَاهُ أَنْ يُمْلِيَ.
