Beyond the ʿUthmānic Codex: the Role of Self-Similarity in Preserving the Textual Integrity of the Qurʾān I am excited to share that my long-anticipated article has been published Open Access and is freely available to everyone.

Memorizing the Qur’an without recourse to written documents was impossible—not only because of its length but, more importantly, due to its strikingly similar passages that could easily confuse human memory. The fact that these closely resembling passages were placed precisely within their respective surahs without error indicates that its preservation involved writing from the very beginning.

@chonkshonk1 If the Qur’an was written down from the start, then people used the written text to memorize it. Problem solved.

@AlsulaimanAbd مرحبًا بورف السليمان. القول بأن التفاسير التي جاءت بعد مقاتل بن سليمان والطبري -على بعد ما بينهما في الزمان وفرْق ما بينهما في المنهج والاتجاه- كالقرطبي والرازي تتجنب أو ترفض الإسرائيليات فيه نظر. فكلا التفسيرين حافل بتلك المرويات التي ما نجا منها من المفسرين إلا القليل.

@Legoat1322222 The small number verbal differences (one or two characters) that you find in the regional codices are scribal errors.

“There was no complete Qur’an (muṣḥaf) before it was fixed by ʿUthmān.” Islamic traditional sources state that ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd had a codex of his own, which did not include the last two surahs and had a different surah order. If his codex had not been considered a complete Qur’an, there would have been no reason to discuss the absence of the last two surahs or the different sequence of surahs. He is also reported to have refused to surrender his muṣḥaf to ʿUthmān—all of this occurring long before the production of the ʿUthmānic text.

If we trust Ibn Qutaybah, his passage indicates that the early generation of Muslims (al-Ṣaḥābah) relied on written texts rather than memory. In fact, the remarkable precision with which strikingly similar passages of the Qur’an are placed within their respective surahs without confusion could only have been achieved through writing, not oral transmission.
