Question: Are all of the seven readings (qir\u0101\u2019\u0101t) actually mass-transmitted (mutaw\u0101tir) from the Messenger (May Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace)? And why did some make them ten?
\nAnd since the Companions heard all of them from the Messenger (May Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace), why did they not teach them all at once? As, for example, \u2018Abd al-Basit reads now, and then in this way the narrators would transmit all of them from them; so that the chain of the reading of N\u0101fi\u2018 and his transmitters would be a way for the reading of \u1e24af\u1e63, and so on?
\nAnd why is this reading attributed to so-and-so, and that one to so-and-so?
\nOr was it that the Messenger (May Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace) would sometimes recite with one reading and sometimes with another? If so, why did the Companions not transmit one surah in one reading and another surah in a different reading? That is, that a Companion should transmit S\u016brat al-Baqarah, for example, according to what Warsh narrates from N\u0101fi\u2018, and should transmit \u0100l \u2018Imr\u0101n according to what \u1e24af\u1e63 narrates from \u2018\u0100\u1e63im, and so on?
\nAnd how did the Messenger (May Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace) recite the seven readings to them, and yet each group among them transmits only one reading from them? Did he designate specific transmitters for each reading? Or was it that they only heard one narration from him? And were the readings different only because of the differences of the dialects of the Arab tribes, and the Messenger (May Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace) permitted that even if he did not recite with it himself?
\nWhat increases the depth of this [problem] within me is that most of the difference is in the way the words are pronounced, such as the hamzahs: some pronounce them, some drop them, and some make them easier (by lightening them), according to the dialects of the Arabs, and other such things.
\nAnd another type of difference is in some letters and vowels; does this go back to their differing over reading the rasm (consonantal outline of the mu\u1e63\u1e25af), such as malik and m\u0101lik, between which there is nothing but a small alif; and such as \u201cans\u0101ran li-ll\u0101h\u201d (according to N\u0101fi\u2018) and \u201cans\u0101ra All\u0101h\u201d (according to \u1e24af\u1e63): there is no difference between them except the presence or absence of tanw\u012bn, otherwise the letters are similar; only in the first instance we attach the alif to the first word, and in the second we attach it to the second word.
\nClarify this matter for me, for it troubles me greatly, and I want to uproot my anxiety from its roots, and you are the best surgeon for such ailments. May Allah reward you with the good of both abodes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
