Abstract
The science of recitations was the first knowledge that the noble Companions received from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). They learned it directly from the prophet and they used to recite it in seven letters. Paying attention to the Noble Qur’an is an honor that Muslims strive for and a requirement sought by working scholars, in which competitors compete. The honorable Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) exerted their utmost efforts in transmitting this book as they received it from the mouth of the Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace), and they memorized it and perfected its readings, and it was transmitted from them generation after generation. The science of recitations spread with the spread of Islamic conquests, to the point where people disagreed about it, so it became necessary to address this disagreement, and the need became urgent for a science that distinguished the authentic and frequent ones from the abnormal and rare ones. Abu Ubaid al-Qasim is the first to write down the science of Quranic readings, bin Salam in 224 AH in his book (The Readings), and after him came many scholars who followed his footsteps, may Allah Almighty have mercy on them. It is well known among the later scholars, especially among the scholars of jurisprudence, that the recitations are divided into two types: frequent and odd, but Imam al-Balqini divided them into three: frequent, odd, and odd. Mutawatir: which is what was narrated by a group, and it is not possible for them to conspire to lie about someone like them to the end of the chain of transmission. Al-Ahād: This is what has an authentic chain of narration, and contradicts the script or the Arabic language, or is not well-known for the aforementioned type, and this type is not read with it, and it should not be believed. The abnormal: it is the one whose chain of transmission is not authentic, so the evidence for it is based on knowledge of Arab speech and its standards of grammar, rhetoric, morphology, and semantics. The reading of Ibn Muhaisn (may Allah Almighty have mercy on him) was famous for his two narrations Al-Bazi, who is one of the narrators of Imam Ibn Katheer Al-Makki, and Ibn Shanbudh. His reading did not differ greatly from the reading of the audience, but rather in terms of vocabulary.
