Abu Bakr sent for me and said, “You used to write the Divine Revelations for Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) : So you
should search for (the Qur’an and collect) it.” I started searching for the Qur’an till I found the last two

anybody other than him. (They were):
‘Verily there has come unto you an Apostle (Muhammad) from amongst yourselves. It grieves him
that you should receive any injury or difficulty …’ (9.128-129)
should search for (the Qur’an and collect) it.” I started searching for the Qur’an till I found the last two
