Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32233 — The first to compile the Quran

Ibn Awn said that Muhammad (Ibn Sirin) said: When Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was made caliph, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sat at home among his family. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was told of this, so he sent a messenger to summon him and asked: "Do you dislike my caliphate?" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "No, I do not dislike your caliphate. But the Qur'an was being added to, and when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, I made it binding on myself that I would not put on a cloak except for prayer until I had gathered the Qur'an for the people." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Your opinion is excellent."
