Uthman, another close companion of Muhammad, was married to the daughter of Muhammad, Ruqayya. She died around 2 A.H. Uthman then married Umm Khulthum, also the daughter of Muhammad.

According to Islamic tradition, Hafsa had memorized the Qur'an. The copy of Zayd ibn Thabit which was recorded by the instructions of Abu Bakr was given to Hafsa. Uthman, when he became a Caliph, used Hafsa's copy when he attempted to develop a definitive text of the Qur'an.
