Abu Bakr ya ce, ‘Kai matashi ne mai hankali, kuma ba mu da shakka a kanka. Kai kana rubuta wahayin da aka saukar wa Manzon Allah ﷺ; (ka nemi Alqur’ani ka tattara shi waje guda).’ Na rantse da Allah, idan da ya ɗora mini nauyin cire ɗaya daga cikin duwatsu, da ba zai fi nauyi a gare ni ba fiye da abin da suka umurce ni da shi na tattara Alqur’ani.

Al-Bukhari narrated that Zaid ibn Thabit said: Abu Bakr sent for me at the time of the slaughter of people of al-Yamamah and cUmar was with him. Abu Bakr said, ‘cUmar came to me and said, “The slaughter of people was very extensive on the Day of al-Yamamah and I fear the killing will extend to the reciters in these engagements, so that a lot of Qur’an will disappear unless they gather it together. I believe that the Qur’an should be gathered.’” Abu Bakr said, ‘I said to cUmar, “How can I do something that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did not do?” cUmar said, “It, by Allah! is good,” and cUmar did not give up returning to the matter until Allah expanded my breast to that, and I came to hold the view that cUmar held.’ Zaid said: cUmar was sitting with him, not talking. Abu Bakr said, ‘You are an intelligent young man and we liave no doubts of you. You used to write the revelation for the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace; (search out the Qur’an and collect it together.’ By Allah, if he had Imposed on me the responsibility of removing one of the mountains 11 would not have been heavier for me than what they ordered me to do of collecting the Qur’an. I said, ‘How can the two of you do something which the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did not do?’ So Abu Bakr said, ‘It, by Allah! is good,’ and he continued insisting on it until Allah expanded my breast to that which he had expanded the breasts of Abu Bakr and cUmar.

Na nemi Alƙur'ani don in tattara shi duka, daga guntayen takarda, daga ƙasusuwan kafaɗa, daga rassan dabino, da kuma daga zukatan mutane, har na sami ayoyi biyu daga Suratut-Tauba (Suratul Tuba) tare da Khuzaimah ibn Thabit, waɗanda ban same su a wurin wani ba: {Lallai, ya zo muku wani Manzo daga cikinku ...} (Alƙur'ani 9: 128-129) har zuwa ƙarshen surar.

I searched out the Qur’an to collect it all together, from scraps (of paper), shoulder blade bones, palm branches and from the breasts of men, until I found two ay at from Surah at-Tawbah (The Surah of Repentance) along with Khuzaymah ibn Thabit which I found with no-one else, 1 There has come to you a messenger from among yourselves ...’ (Qur’an 9: 128-129) to the end of the surah.

Shafukan da aka tattara Alkur'ani a kansu suna hannun Abu Bakr har Allah ya karbe shi, sannan suna hannun Umar har Allah ya karbe shi, sannan suna hannun Hafsah 'yar Umar, Allah ya yarda da ita.

The pages upon which the Qur’an was collected were with Abu Bakr until Allah took him, then they were with cUmar until Allah took him, then they were with Hafsah the daughter of cUmar, may Allah be pleased with her.

Abu Ya'la ya ruwaito cewa Ali ya ce: Wanda yake da mafi girman lada saboda kwafin Alkur'ani shi ne Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr ne ya fara tara Alkur'ani tsakanin allo biyu.

Abu Yacla narrated that cAli said: The one with the greatest reward for the written copies of the Qur’an is Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr was the first to gather the Qur’an between two boards.
