Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) gave the responsibility of compilation of the Holy Quran to? 

  1. Hazrat Amr Bin al Aas (R.A.)
  2. Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (R.A.)
  3. Hazrat Ali (R.A.)
  4. Hazrat Umar (R.A.)


 After 70 Quran memorizers (huffaz) died at Yamama (633 CE), Caliph Abu Bakr (R.A.) commissioned Zaid bin Thabit (R.A.)—the Prophet’s personal scribe—to compile the Quran into a single Mushaf. Zaid cross-verified each verse with written fragments and oral testimony from two witnesses, completing the task in 634 CE. This manuscript became the basis for Hazrat Usman’s (R.A.) standardized copies. Zaid’s selection is documented in Sahih Bukhari (Book 66, Hadith 1).
