Uthmann (3rd Caliph) then selected one version and had the rest DESTROYED :

6, p.478).ĭisputes about different versions of the Qurans lead to the first official versionĪbout 20 years after Mohamed, an expedition under Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, made up of fighters from various regions, lead to disputes about different versions of the Quran. till I found the last verse of Surat at-Tauba (repentance) with Abi Khuzaima al-Ansari, and I did not find it with anybody other than him. Significantly, some passages were recovered from only ONE source : So I started looking for the Qur'an and collecting it from palm-leaf stalks, thin white stones, and also from the men who knew it by heart. Zaid had to collect his version of the Quran from many scattered and different sources : (Ibn Abi Dawud, Kitab al-Masahif, p.5)Ību Bakr entrusted the collection of the Quran to Zaid bin Thabit : from Ali who said: "May the mercy of Allah be upon Abu Bakr, the foremost of men to be rewarded with the collection of the manuscripts, for he was the first to collect (the text) between (two) covers". The Quran was collected from scattered memory and written materialsįollowing the losses at Yamama, Abu Bakr is generally considered the first to collect the Quran : The Quran of Ubayy ibn Ka'b was favoured in Syria. During this period there is no evidence that this version was considered more important or accurate than other versions such as Abdullah ibn Masud's or Salim's - on the contrary, it was left unpublicsed and kept away from public view. Hafsah became a recluse and kept the Abu Bakr Quran hidden away. The Quran of Abu Bakr (first Caliph) passed to Umar (2nd Caliph) then to Hafsah (daughter of Umar and "wife of the prophet"). (This contradicts the claim that Abu Bakr collected the first Quran.)Ībdullah ibn Masud was considered the foremost authority on the Quran by Mohamed - his Quran was used in Kufa in Iraq. (as-Suyuti, Al-Itqan fii Ulum al-Qur'an, p.135). from Ibn Buraidah who said: "The first of those to collect the Qur'an into a book was Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifah". The variant Quran of Salim existed before Yamama and before Abu Bakr's (Zaid's) version (Salim was killed in the battle) : This loss of some of the Quran inspired Abu Bakr to begin collecting it. but they were not known (by those who) survived them, nor were they written down, nor had Abu Bakr, Umar or Uthman (by that time) collected the Qur'an, nor were they found with even one (person) after them. Many (of the passages) of the Qur'an that were sent down were known by those who died on the day of Yamama. Many passages were lost at the battle of Yamama : Some of the Quran was lost to posterity : This shows that the Quran was not collected or written down, or finalised before Mohamed's death - the Quran only formed years after Mohamed. That was the period of the greatest part of revelation, and Allah's Apostle (saw) died after that. Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah sent down his Divine Inspiration to His Apostle (saw) continuously and abundantly during the period preceding his death till He took him unto Him.

6, p.477).Ī great part of the Quran was only recited shortly before Mohamed's death : Then I said to Abu Bakr, "How will you do something which Allah's Apostle did not do?". you should search for the Qur'an and collect it ". Narrated Zaid bin Thabit: Abu Bakr as-Siddiq sent for me when the people of Yamama had been killed. Quran not written down or finalised during Mohamed's lifetime This all goes to show the Quran is a book made by people who chose between different versions, added to it, changed it, left out parts etc. Variant readings of the Quran exist to this day Muslims crticised the new version as missing passagesġ2. Muslims criticised Uthmann for destroying the Quranġ0. Utmann et al made changes to the new versionĩ. Uthmann chose Abu Bakr's version for political expediencyĨ. Abu Bakr's version faded early from importanceħ. Abu Bakr collected his version from scraps and memoriesĦ. The variants were different to modern Quransĥ. Variant Qurans existed in the early daysĤ. The Quran was not finalised until well after Mohamed's deathģ. Here are some notes I made regarding the Quran's text :ġ.
