In which of the following Battle most of the Hafiz-e-Quran were martyred?

The Battle of Yamama, fought during the caliphate of Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A), was one of the most significant and tragic events in early Islamic history. It took place in 11 Hijri (632 CE) against the forces of Musaylimah the Liar, a false prophet who gathered a large following after the death of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

One of the most heartbreaking outcomes of this battle was the martyrdom of a large number of Huffaz — individuals who had memorized the entire Qur'an. According to authentic Islamic historical records, approximately 70 to 700 Huffaz were martyred in this single confrontation. Their deaths raised serious concerns about the potential loss of Qur'anic knowledge due to the passing of its preservers.

This event led to a critical decision by Hazrat Umar (R.A), who advised Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) to compile the Qur'an in written form to prevent any loss. This was a turning point in Islamic history, resulting in the first official compilation of the Qur'an in book form.
