AHazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (RA)
BHazrat Umar Farooq (RA)
CHazrat Uthman ibn Affan (RA)
DHazrat Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA)

Explanation

Hazrat Uthman ibn Affan (RA), the 3rd Rightly Guided Caliph, commissioned a committee headed by Zayd ibn Thabit (RA) to produce standardized copies of the Quran in the Quraishi dialect to prevent recitation discrepancies across expanding territories. Hence, he is titled ‘Jami-ul-Quran’. Remember that the initial single-volume compilation was conducted during the caliphate of Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA).
