'Affan. Little to no attention has been given to the traditions on 'Ali b. Abi Talib's collection of the Qur'an. This book examines both Shi'i and Sunni traditions on the issue, aiming to date them back to the earliest possible date and, if possible, verify their authenticity. To achieve this, the traditions are examined using Harald Motzki's isnad-cum-matn method, which is recognised as an efficient tool in dating the early Islamic traditions and involves analysis of both matn (text) and isnad (chain of trans-mission) with an emphasis on finding a correlation between the two.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seyfeddin Kara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3959940548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783959940542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerlach Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Seyfeddin Kara","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075233116415,"sku":"9783959940542","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2ad60efd-ea75-42a3-8ffa-9f1de52afc99.jpg?v=1685458368","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-search-of-ali-ibn-seyfeddin-kara-9783959940542","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
