Quranic Transmission And Preservation
The traditions about the compilation of the Qur’an are not reliable enough. However, there is no objection to this narration logically. The narration tells that Zaid already knew these verses and looking for its document which he found with Khuzaima only. This was because few people wrote down the Qur’an and most of them memorised it. Therefore he found the only document with Khuzaima. Secondly, that compilation of Zaid was not made public. It stayed with Abu bakr. This confirms that the masses were not in need of an official copy of the Qur’an.
