Zayd ibn Thabit aur Quran ki Pehli Tadween — Sahih al-Bukhari 4986

Ek Naujawan Katib aur Pahaad Se Bhaari Zimmedari

Madinah ka tasawwur kijiye, Nabi Muhammad (SAW) ki wafat ke foran baad ke barson mein (qareeban 11-12 Hijri). Musaylima ke khilaf Jang-e-Yamama khatam ho chuki hai, aur us ke saath qurra' — un aadmiyon mein jo Quran apne seenon mein rakhte the — bhaari jaani nuqsan bhi ho chuka hai. Pehle khalifa Abu Bakr (RA) ne ek aisa faisla kiya hai jis ki unhon ne pehle muzahamat ki thi: bikhre hue Quran ko, aayat ba aayat, ek tehreeri mujallad mein jama kiya jaaye. Aur jis shakhs par yeh zimmedari aati hai woh koi bara buzurg nahi. Woh Zayd ibn Thabit (RA) hain — Madinah ke ek naujawan sahabi jo khud Nabi (SAW) ke liye katibaan-e-wahi mein se ek reh chuke the.

Zayd (RA) is kaam ki sanginee ke saath baithte hain. Un ke apne mehfooz alfaz mein, poora pahaad muntaqil karna un ke kandhon par us se halka mehsoos hota jis ka unhein hukm diya gaya tha. Shehar ke gird o nawah mein Quran do sooraton mein zinda hai: khajoor ki shaakhon par, safed patle patharon par, chamde aur haddi ke tukdon par likhe nishanaat ki soorat mein, jo bahut se gharon mein zaati taur par rakhe the; aur huffaz ke dilon mein zinda tilawat ki soorat mein. Zayd (RA) ka kaam in do daryaon ko ek hi dhaare mein le aana hai — aur ise aisi dastaawezi ehtiyat ke saath karna ke woh kisi hisse ko na mehz haafize par darj karenge, na mehz kisi ek likhe tukde par. Yeh pehli tadween ki kahani hai, Quran ko ek jagah baandhne ki pehli koshish.
