Zaid

Zaid
Zaid full name is Zaid Ibn Thabit. His mother was An-Nawar bint Malik. Zaid was 13 years old at the time of Battle of Badr. Prophet Muhammad did not allow him in war preparations. Zaid decided to learn the Qur'an, whatever part was revealed, by heart. He did so. Then, Prophet Mohammad asked Zaid to learn the Hebrew and Assyrian languages. Later on, he was appointed as scribe to handle correspondence and to collect and keep record of the Qur'anic verses. Zaid was not the only one who acted as a scribe for the Prophet. There were forty-eight persons, who used to write for Prophet. Zaid was very prominent among them. He used his time to recite the Qur'an, and continued to learn the Quranic verses as they were recited by Prophet Muhammad. Zaid later volunteered to fight when he was 19 years old. This time he was accepted in the ranks of the Muslim army. After the death of Prophet Muhammad, the task fell on Zaid to authenticate the first and most important reference for the Ummah of Muhammad. This became an urgent task, because many of persons who memorised Quran died in the Battle of Yamamah. Umar Ibn al Khattab convinced the Khalifa Abu Bakr that the Quran should be collected in one manuscript. During Abu Bakr's reign as caliph, Zaid Ibn Thabit was given the task of collecting the Quranic verses from all over Arabia. Zaid diligently started locating the Quranic material and collecting it from every authentic source. When Zaid had completed his task, he left the prepared documents with Abu Bakr. Before he died, Abu Bakr left the documents with Umar. Umar left it with his daughter Hafsah. Hafsah, Umm Salamah, and Ayeshah were wives of Prophet Muhammad, who memorized the Qur'an. During his caliphate, Osman obtained the manuscript of the Quran from Hafsah. He again summoned Zaid Ibn Thabit, and some other companions to make copies of Quran. Zaid was put in charge of the task. The style of Arabic dialect used was that of the Quraish tribe. Zaid and other Companions copied many copies. One of these was sent to every Muslim province for reference. The wrong or doubtful copies were burnt down everywhere. The Caliph Osman kept a copy for himself and returned the original manuscript to Hafsah.
