Title: Chains of transmission of the Quran.
Post by: Abubakar on November 25, 2015, 05:49:08 PM
Salam.

It is said the Quran is transmitted through Four different chains which are :
1. The narration of Hafs from ‘Asim,
2. The second is the narration of
Warsh from Nafi’
3. The third narration is that of Qalon
from Nafi’
4. The fourth is the narration of Al-
Duwri from Abi ‘Amr.

What is the continuation of each of these chains ?
e.g Hafs from Asim from.......(who??) up to the Sahaba.

And also did any of them wrote any book (Hafs etc) or it is just narrations from each of them?

`Umar bin al-Khattab is one of the reciters I read not too long ago. Im sure you can find the full chains on google.

Wa alaykum alsalam.

There are more than four recitations brother Abu Bakar.

As Hani said, you can find most of these by googling them and it would be less of an effort to type those names out. ;)

This one is free of charge: Hafs from Asim from Abi Abdulrahman Al Sulami from Ali.

Not to mention that the Imams themselves narrated from multiple Companions, sometimes in the same chain.

I don't understand.

I thought the Qur'an was transmitted orally, and it terms of written format it was copied again from one mushaf to another as generations passed.

Different recitations of the Qur'an.

Notice the slight differences between the common recitation of Asim and that by Hamza.
