Hadrat Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al Aas (ra) Session 14 During the reign of Umar (ra) the companions document the hadith. Umar (ra), Verily I want to write down the Sunan but I remember the people who came before you. They wrote books and then applied themselves eagerly to those books whilst they left the Book of Allah SWT. Thus by Allah SWT I will never cover Allah SWT's book with anything else (Baihaqi). Imam Muaawiyah (ra) relates, If Allah SWT intends good for a person, He SWT then causes him to acquire a deep understanding of Islaam... (Muslim). Umar (ra) advising a contingent heading towards Iraq, 'Do not preoccupy them with Hadith for it will prevent them from becoming well versed in the Quran...' (Haakim).
