The Prophet's Foresight in the Battle of Yaman

Zayd al-Nuthabat is 20 years old and about to undertake the most important task probably in the history of the Ummah. The companions memorized the Qur'an but didn't think they needed that because so many people are Qifah of anyway. So he says, wa'in-nil-a'ara and tajma al-Qur'an, I think, al-Abubaqir, that you should order an official commission to compile the Qur'anic.
