Q
What was the significance of Khuza`ima bin Thabit Al-Ansari’s testimony in the compilation of the Qur’an?
A
Zaid bin Thabit said, “When the Qur’an was compiled from various written manuscripts, one of the
Verses of Surat Al-Ahzab was missing which I used to hear Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) reciting. I could not find it
except with Khuza`ima bin Thabjt Al-Ansari, whose witness Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) regarded as equal to the
witness of two men. And the Verse was:– “Among the believers are men who have been true to what
they covenanted with Allah.” (33.23)
