Hafsah bint Umar رضي الله عنهم (S12) In Abu Bakr’s (رضي الله عنه) khilafat, the wars of apostasy took place - many hufadh were martyred so Umar رضي الله عنه suggested that a mushaf be compiled. Zayd Ibn Thaabit رضي الله عنه was given the task of this compilation. The mushaf was first with Abu Bakr, then it went to Umar, then our mother Hafsah رضي الله عنهم. She kept it for 20 years until she passed away. Why was it given to Hafsah and not Uthman (رضي الله عنهم) - as after Umar رضي الله عنه was martyred, there was 3 days before Uthman رضي الله عنه was elected as the new caliph - thus the blessed mushaf was given to our mother, Hafsah رضي الله عنها.
