Abstract:
According to John Burton, the Qur'an was compiled during the time of the Prophet of God (PBUH) and by the Prophet himself; Hence, the narrations on collecting the Qur'an are all fabricated. He has pointed the finger of blame at Sunni jurists and introduced the first half of the third century as the time of fabrication. This article goes to date the narration of "Hudhayfah’s proposal to unify the Qur’anic Mushafs” to determine whether the claim of this English Orientalist is confirmed by the method invented by the Orientalists themselves or not. According to this research, although this narration has problems such as the small number of narrators and the uncertainty of the main narrator, even according to the opinion of people like Schacht and Juynboll, there is no conclusive evidence that it is fake, especially concerning the time claimed by Burton.
Machine summary:
Motaki, although in the article 446 Quran and Hadith Research, Year Fifty-Fifth, Issue Two, Autumn and Winter 1401 "The Compilation and Codification of the Quran: Revisiting Western Perspectives in Light of New Epistemological Developments," has chronologically dated the Hudhayfah hadith (182-183), but firstly, his subject of discussion is the narrations of "the compilation and codification of the Quran"; not specifically the narration of Hudhayfah; secondly, he was not in a position to critique Burton's claim; thirdly, his reliance on the network of chains of transmission and the determination of the common link, along with the lack of attention to the historical information of the narrators, did not allow him to notice the multiple flaws present in the chain of this hadith, and consequently, he mistakenly assumed that this narration had also reached al-Zuhri through Zayd ibn Thabit; as textual clues indicating the multiplicity of the original transmitters have also been overlooked.
This Source-based and isnad-based dating of the 'Hudhayfah' narration; a critique of 'John Burton's' view regarding the fabrication of the narrations of the compilation of the Quran 447 The method was first devised by Goldziher 1 and Schacht 2, and subsequently expanded and refined by individuals such as Juynboll, 3 Motzki 4 and van Ess 5.
Source and Isnad Dating of the "Hudhayfah" Narration; A Critique of "John Burton's" View Regarding the Fabrication of the Narrations of the Collection of the Quran 449 The hadith was truly announced and heard from the one narrated from, and since he was the first collector and disseminator of the hadiths of the people of the first century, his name has become the common link.
