Qu'ran collected by the majority

[scusemyenglish]

Salam.

Someone can explain me why we say "Qu'ran was collected by the majority"?

Who was "the majority"?

And why some sahaba were "against" this majority?

And for conclude where is the founding of this "expression" "" The hand'  s Allah" is with the majority"?

Barak'Allah ou fikoum.

W.salam wa rehmatullah,

The expression hand of Allah (i.e the support/help of Allah) is with the majority, is first used by Prophet s.a.w.w in opposition to evil/wrong doers. Originally Sahabah were the majority then their followers and so on. Its also possible that opinion of some sahabah can be against majority of sahabah in any issue. In that case we have to follow majority of Sahabah. Similarly Sahabah used the term Ahlul Sunnah wal Jamah in opposition to Ahlul Biddah wal Dalalah.


It was narrated that 'Arfajah bin Shuraih Al-Ashja'I said:

"I saw the Prophet [SAW] on the Minbar addressing the people. He said: 'After me there will be many calamities and much evil behavior. Whoever you see splitting away from the Jama'ah or trying to create division among the Ummah of Muhammad [SAW], then kill him, for the Hand of Allah is with the Jama'ah, and the Shaitan is with the one who splits away from the Ummah, running with him.'"

Ibn 'Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said:

'Indeed Allah will not gather my Ummah " - or he said: "[Muhammad's] Ummah upon deviation, and Allah's Hand is over the Jama'ah, and whoever deviates, he deviates to the Fire."
