For whom did Prophet Muhammad ﷺ arrange education due to their exceptional intellectual abilities?

Explanation

Hazrat Hafsa (RA), the daughter of Hazrat Umar (RA) and a wife of the Prophet ﷺ, was known for her sharp intellect and literacy. The Prophet ﷺ specifically arranged for her to be taught reading and writing by Shifa bint Abdullah, recognizing her exceptional mental capabilities. This highlights the emphasis Islam placed on women's education from the earliest period.

Good to know

Hazrat Hafsa (RA) was the first woman in Islam entrusted with the written copy of the Quran compiled during the caliphate of Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA). After her father Hazrat Umar (RA) became caliph, this manuscript was placed in her custody, and later Hazrat Usman (RA) used it as the basis for the official compilation. She was among the very few literate women in Arabia at that time.
