Musnad Abi Ya'la 3255 — he said: In the blessed time of the Messenger
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، سَمِعَ أَنَسًا ، يَقُولُ : جَمَعَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْبَعَةٌ ، كُلُّهُمْ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ : مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ ، وَأُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ ، وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ، وَأَبُو زَيْدٍ . قَالَ قَتَادَةُ : قُلْتُ لِأَنَسٍ : مَنْ أَبُو زَيْدٍ ؟ قَالَ : أَحَدُ عُمُومَتِي .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "In the blessed time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), four people collected the whole Qur'an, and all of them were from the Ansar: Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal, Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b, Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit and Sayyiduna Abu Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them)." Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): "Who was Abu Zayd?" He replied: "He was one of my paternal uncles."
