The noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) became divided into two groups regarding them: one group was of the opinion that they should be killed, and the second group said no. Upon this, the following verse was revealed: "What is the matter with you that you have become two groups concerning the hypocrites?" And the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Medina is pure; it expels filth just as fire removes the impurities of silver."

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that when we were preparing the copies of the Mushaf, I could not find one verse of Surah Ahzab among them which I used to hear the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) recite. I searched for it and found it only with Hazrat Khuzaymah bin Thabit Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), whose testimony the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had considered equal to the testimony of two men. And that verse was: "Among the believers are men who have been true to what they pledged to Allah."

Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) or Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) once said to Marwan, "I see that you have led the Maghrib prayer very briefly. I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) reciting Surah Al-A'raf in the Maghrib prayer."

I searched for it and found it only with Hazrat Khuzaymah bin Thabit Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), whose testimony the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had declared equal to the testimony of two men.

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a messenger to me at the time of Yamama and called me. When I arrived, Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) was also sitting there. Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me, "O Zaid bin Thabit! You are a wise young man, and we do not suspect you of anything. You used to write down revelation during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Gather the Qur'an by searching for it and compile it in one place." Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "By Allah! If they had ordered me to move a mountain from its place, it would not have been heavier for me than this command to compile the Qur'an. I said to them, 'Do you want to do something which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do?' Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, 'By Allah! There is goodness in it.' Then they kept insisting on me until Allah opened my heart for the task, just as He had opened the hearts of Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Farooq Azam (may Allah be pleased with him)."
