Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ جَمَعَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَرْبَعَةٌ، كُلُّهُمْ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ أُبَىٌّ، وَمُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ، وَأَبُو زَيْدٍ، وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ‏.‏ قُلْتُ لأَنَسِ مَنْ أَبُو زَيْدٍ قَالَ أَحَدُ عُمُومَتِي‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to me: Yahya narrated to us: Shuʿba narrated to us, from Qatada, from Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: Four people compiled the Quran during the Prophet’s lifetime, all of them from the Helpers: Ubayy, Muʿadh ibn Jabal, Abu Zayd, and Zayd ibn Thabit. I asked Anas, “Who was Abu Zayd?” He said, “One of my paternal uncles.”
