Zayd ibn Thabit
✓ Source-basedfallingArabic scribe and Qur'anic collator (c.610-c.660)
Muhammad's personal scribe, tasked with the most consequential clerical job in early Islam: gathering the scattered verses of the Quran - written on palm leaves, stones, ribs of animals, and lodged in the memories of reciters - into a single authoritative text.

About this person
Zayd ibn Thabit was an ansar, one of the early converts in Medina who aided Muhammad's mission. He became the prophet's chief recorder, writing down Quranic revelations as they were delivered. He joined the Muslim army at 19. After Muhammad's death in 632, Caliph Abu Bakr gave him the order to compile the Quran from its dispersed sources - fragments inscribed on whatever surface was at hand, alongside oral transmission from those who'd memorized passages. The work made him the foremost Quranic expert of his generation, and he spent his later years reciting the text he'd assembled.
