23. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn abu Hashim from Salim ibn Salamah who has said the following
“Once, a man read before Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) certain letters from the Holy Quran, while I was present, which were not like those that people read. Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) said, ‘Stop this reading. Read as people read until the one who will establish Divine Authority on earth will come. When he will come, the book of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, will be read upon its limits. He then brought the copy of the Holy Quran that Ali (a.s.) had written and said, ‘Ali (a.s.) brought this to people when he completed writing down the Holy Quran in one copy and said to them, “This is the book of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, as Allah had revealed upon Muhammad (a.s.) and I have written it in one copy from two tablets.” They said, ‘With us there is the comprehensive copy of the Holy Quran. We do not need it.’ He then said, ‘By Allah you will never see this from today on. It was necessary for me to tell you after I completed writing it down so you can read.’”
23ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ
قَرَأَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) وَأَنَا أَسْتَمِعُ حُرُوفاً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ لَيْسَ عَلَى مَا يَقْرَأُهَا النَّاسُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) كُفَّ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْقِرَاءَةِ اقْرَأْ كَمَا يَقْرَأُ النَّاسُ حَتَّى يَقُومَ الْقَائِمُ (عجل الله تعالى فرجه الشريف) فَإِذَا قَامَ الْقَائِمُ (عجل الله تعالى فرجه الشريف) قَرَأَ كِتَابَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى حَدِّهِ وَأَخْرَجَ الْمُصْحَفَ الَّذِي كَتَبَهُ عَلِيٌّ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) وَقَالَ أَخْرَجَهُ عَلِيٌّ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِلَى النَّاسِ حِينَ فَرَغَ مِنْهُ وَكَتَبَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ هَذَا كِتَابُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كَمَا أَنْزَلَهُ الله عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) وَقَدْ جَمَعْتُهُ مِنَ اللَّوْحَيْنِ فَقَالُوا هُوَ ذَا عِنْدَنَا مُصْحَفٌ جَامِعٌ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ لا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِيهِ فَقَالَ أَمَا وَالله مَا تَرَوْنَهُ بَعْدَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا أَبَداً إِنَّمَا كَانَ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أُخْبِرَكُمْ حِينَ جَمَعْتُهُ لِتَقْرَءُوهُ.
