Ubayy bin Ka'b ka Mushaf: Ustad-e-Qira'at ka Nuskha aur Do Izafi Surtein

"Allah ne mujhe hukm diya hai ke tum par Quran parhoon"

Madine ki aik majlis hai. Rasool Allah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) Ansar ke aik sahabi ko bulate hain — Ubayy bin Ka'b (RA), Banu Najjar ke qari, Bai'at-e-Aqaba aur Badr ke shareek, aur Madine mein wahi ke awwaleen katibon mein se aik. Aap (SAW) farmate hain: "Inna Allaha amarani an aqra'a alaykal Quran" — "Allah ne mujhe hukm diya hai ke main tum par Quran parhoon." Ubayy (RA) hairat se poochte hain: "Kya Allah ne aap ke samne mera naam liya?" Farmaya: "Haan, Allah ne tumhara naam liya." Aur rawi kehte hain ke Ubayy (RA) rone lage. (Sahih Bukhari 4960–4961)

Yehi Ubayy bin Ka'b (RA) hain, aur inhi ka zati mushaf Quran ki tareekh-e-matan ke sab se zyada zer-e-behas nuskhon mein shumar hota hai. Classical kitabein riwayat karti hain ke un ke mushaf mein do aisi surtein likhi theen jo aaj ke Quran mein maujood nahin, surton ki tarteeb mukhtalif thi, aur Surah Ahzab ke bare mein khud Ubayy (RA) se aik hairan-kun qaul manqool hai. Aur yehi kitabein wo tawjeehat bhi mehfooz rakhti hain jo ulama-e-Islam ne in riwayat ki paish keen.
