Wak\u00eel al-Shaykh <\/em><br \/>The scholars of Islam have paid careful attention to the reports of the historical events that took place during the era of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and during the era of the Companions and the Successors by demanding and then scrutinizing complete and unbroken chains of transmission from the eye-witnesses at the time the event happened up to the time the books were compiled. <\/p>\n<p>These chains of transmission are what the scholars rely upon. The reports would be declared authentic if they are unbroken and all of the narrators are reliable. If these conditions are not met, or if some other defect is present, then the historical report will be declared weak. <\/p>\n<p>The story of Hafsah bint `Umar keeping a manuscript of the Qur\u2019\u00e2n is authentic. Al-Bukh\u00e2r\u00ee relates it in his Sah\u00eeh in the Book of the Qur\u2019\u00e2n\u2019s Virtues, Chapter on the Compilation of the Qur\u2019\u00e2n (#4797 &amp; 4798). <\/p>\n<p>In brief, when `Umar observed how many of the people who memorized the Qur\u2019\u00e2n were dying in battle. He consulted with Ab\u00fb Bakr on compiling the Qur\u2019\u00e2n in one authoritative volume. This was in the year 12 A.H. <\/p>\n<p>Zayd b. Th\u00e2bit wa appointed to the task. Zayd was among those who had completely memorized the Qur\u2019\u00e2n. He and `Umar went to all of the Companions to hear what they had memorized of the Qur\u2019\u00e2n. Many of the Companions who had memorized the Qur\u2019\u00e2n in its entirety were still around. <\/p>\n<p>The authorized written edition that was in accordance with what all the Companions had memorized and recorded was called a \u201cmushaf\u201d. It remained with Ab\u00fb Bakr until his death. Then it remained with `Umar until he died as well. Then it stayed with `Umar\u2019s daughter Hafsah, since this is what `Umar had instructed before his death. <\/p>\n<p>It remained with her in the same state until the next Caliph, `Uthman b. `Aff\u00e2n, requested it from her. He wanted to get all copies of the Qur\u2019\u00e2n in line with one manuscript. Copies were made and dispatched to all the major cities of the Islamic realm. When this work was completed, the original copy was returned to her and remained with her until her death. <\/p>\n<p>[<em>Refer to Fath al-B\u00e2r\u00ee 98\/739-650<\/em>)] <\/p>\n<p>Source:<em><strong> IslamToday<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QuestionHow accurate is what we know of the events related to Hafsah and `Uthm\u00e2n with respect to the early Qur&#8217;\u00e2n manuscripts?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-c92-the-fatwas"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
