Who was the last scribe of the Kitab-e-Wahi (Book of Revelation)?

Explanation

Hazrat Abi bin Kaab (RA) holds the distinguished position of being the last scribe to record the divine revelation during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The Kitab-e-Wahi refers to the written record of Quranic verses as they were revealed, and multiple companions served as scribes (Kuttab-e-Wahi) for this sacred task. Hazrat Abi bin Kaab (RA) was also renowned for his exceptional knowledge of the Quran and was given the title "Sayyid-ul-Qurra" (Leader of the Reciters) by the Prophet (PBUH) himself.

Good to know

The primary scribes of divine revelation (Kuttab-e-Wahi) included several prominent companions such as Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (RA), Hazrat Abdullah bin Masood (RA), Hazrat Muawiya bin Abi Sufyan (RA), and the four Khulafa-e-Rashideen. Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (RA) is particularly famous for compiling the Quran into a single book form during the caliphate of Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) and later standardizing it under Hazrat Usman (RA). Hazrat Abi bin Kaab (RA) was among the Ansar and was one of the few companions who had memorized the entire Quran during the Prophet's lifetime.
