Hazrat Hisham states that Hazrat Muhammad said: Our companions did not differ in this matter that indeed the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, passed away in such a state that only four among his companions had recited the Qur'an before him. And all of them were from among the Ansar: Hazrat Mu'adh bin Jabal, Hazrat Ubayy bin Ka'b, Hazrat Zayd, and Hazrat Abu Zayd.
