ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ كَانَ مِمَّنْ جَمَعَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ

I asked Anas bin Malik: "Who collected the Qur'an at the time of the Prophet ﷺ ?" He replied, "Four, all of whom were from the Ansar: Ubai bin Kaʿb, Muʿadh bin Jabal, Zaid bin Thabit and Abu Zaid."

سَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ؓ مَنْ جَمَعَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَرْبَعَةٌ كُلُّهُمْ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ أُبَىُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ وَمُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَأَبُو زَيْدٍ

Anas said, "The Qur'an was collected in the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ by four (men), all of whom were from the Ansar: Ubai, Muʿadh bin Jabal, Abu Zaid and Zaid bin Thabit." I asked Anas, "Who is Abu Zaid?" He said, "One of my uncles."

جَمَعَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَرْبَعَةٌ كُلُّهُمْ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ أُبَىٌّ وَمُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَأَبُو زَيْدٍ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ قُلْتُ لأَنَسِ مَنْ أَبُو زَيْدٍ قَالَ أَحَدُ عُمُومَتِي

Four persons collected the Qur'an during the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and all of them were Ansar: Mu'adh b. Jabal, Ubayy b. Ka'b, Zaid b. Thabit, Abu Zaid. Qatada said: Anas, who was Abu Zaid? He said: He was one of my uncles.

قُلْتُ لأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ مَنْ جَمَعَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَرْبَعَةٌ كُلُّهُمْ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ أُبَىُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ وَمُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَرَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ يُكْنَى أَبَا زَيْدٍ

that Anas bin Malik said: "Four gathered the Qur'an during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, all of them are from the Ansar: Ubayy bin Ka'b, Mu'adh bin Jabal, Zaid bin Thabit, and Abu Zaid." I said to Anas: "Who is Abu Zaid?" He said: "One of my uncles."

The Aws and Khazraj tribes boasted, and Aws said, "We have four individuals." Khazraj said, "We have four individuals as well." Aws said, "Among us is Sa'd bin Mu'adh, whose shaking caused the Throne of the Most Merciful to tremble. Among us is also Khuzaimah bin Thabit, whose testimony is equivalent to that of two men. Among us is Hanzala bin Al-Rabi', who was washed by the angels. Among us is also Asim bin Thabit bin Al-Aflah, who protected his backside." Khazraj said, "Among us are four individuals who gathered the Quran during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and no one else did so. They are Ubay bin Ka'b, Mu'adh bin Jabal, Zaid bin Thabit, and Abu Zaid." I asked Anas, "Who is Abu Zaid?" He replied, "One of my uncles."
