Hafsah bint Umar (May Allah be pleased with her)

Daughter of Umar and Mother of the Believers, custodian of the Quranic sheets collected under Abu Bakr.

Hafsah was the daughter of Umar ibn al-Khattab and previously the wife of Khunays ibn Hudhafah.

After widowhood she joined the Prophet’s household, within the history of emigrant Muslim families.

Zayd ibn Thabit reports that the collected Quranic sheets were kept with Abu Bakr, then Umar, then Hafsah.

This was a custodial role, not a claim that she authored the Quran or single-handedly compiled it.

Uthman requested the sheets to prepare standard copies and promised their return.

Bukhari 4987 establishes her place between the earlier collection and the later copying project.

Bukhari 4986–4987 documents her custodianship; Al-Ahzab 33:6 concerns the wives’ general standing.
