Hazrat Hafsa (R.A) was the daughter of Hazrat Umar ibn al-Khattab (R.A), the second Rightly Guided Caliph. She was one of the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and is particularly known for being entrusted with the first compiled manuscript of the Quran after the death of her father. She was a learned woman who could read and write, which was rare in that era, and she played a significant role in the preservation of the Quranic text.
Hazrat Hafsa (R.A) was first married to Khunais ibn Hudhafa (R.A), who was martyred in the Battle of Badr. After she became a widow, Hazrat Umar (R.A) offered her hand in marriage to Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) and then to Hazrat Usman (R.A), both of whom declined. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) then married her in 3 AH, and she became known as one of the Mothers of the Believers (Ummahat-ul-Momineen).
