3794. Qatādah narrated that Anas bin Mālik said: "Four gathered the Qur'an during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, all of them from the Anṣār: Ubayy bin Ka'b, Mu'ād bin Jabal, Zaid bin Thābit, and Abū Zaid." I said to Anas: "Who is Abū Zaid?" He said: "One of my uncles." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

Commentary

These four Anṣār Companions had memorized the complete Qur'an. It does not mean that other Companions had not memorized the Qur'an. It is just to show that from the tribe of Khazraj these were the only four persons who had memorized the complete Qur'an. There were other Muhājirūn who had memorized the various parts of the Qur'an. There were people among the Muhājirūn and Anṣār who had also memorized the Qur'an.
