Orality, Literacy and The ‘Seven Ahruf Hadith’The well known ḥadīth that the Qur’ān was revealed according to sevenaḥruf (‘alā sab‘ati aḥruf) indicates that a certain amount of variation in the text of the Qur’ān was considered legitimate, indeed normal, in the earliest days of Islam. The dominant view among traditional scholars is that this initial allowance was then reduced by the decision of the Caliph ‘Uthmān, with the agreement of the Companions, to unify the community on one textual skeleton (rasm), albeit allowing for various ‘readings’ (qirā’āt), such as those of the Seven, the Ten, etc., within the confines of this rasm.In this article, we consider the various traditional interpretations of the ‘seven aḥruf’ ḥadīth, alongside the numerous references to non-standard variant readings in the ḥadīth, tafsīr and qirā’āt literature, to gain a clearer idea of the nature of this textual variation both before and after ‘Uthmān’s decision. At the same time, we aim to apply the insights gained from orality studies (particularly work done on the Homeric tradition) to show how the picture outlined in the traditional sources suggests an oral recitation (qur’ān) with an initial degree of multiformity (in this instance, ‘seven aḥruf’), such as is characteristic of oral texts, which is then presented in a written version (known as al-rasm al-‘Uthmānī or al-maṣāḥif al-‘Uthmāniyya) which has a much greater degree of uniformity, such as is characteristic of written texts, although a degree of multiformity is nevertheless maintained (the Seven/Ten Readings, etc.). Finally, we consider the course of recent Euro-American scholarship on the Qur’ān in the light of these observations.

ABSTRACT

Orality, Literacy and The ‘Seven Ahruf Hadith’

The well known ḥadīth that the Qur’ā was revealed according to

sevenaḥruf (‘alāsab‘ati aḥruf) indicates that a certain amount of variation in the

text of the Qur’ā was considered legitimate, indeed normal, in the earliest days of

Islam. The dominant view among traditional scholars is that this initial allowance

was then reduced by the decision of the Caliph ‘Uthmā, with the agreement of

the Companions, to unify the community on one textual skeleton (rasm), albeit

allowing for various ‘readings’ (qirā’ā), such as those of the Seven, the Ten, etc.,

within the confines of this rasm.

In this article, we consider the various traditional interpretations of the

‘seven aḥruf ’ ḥadīth, alongside the numerous references to non-standard variant

readings in the ḥadīth, tafsīr and qirā’ā literature, to gain a clearer idea of the

nature of this textual variation both before and after ‘Uthmā’s decision. At the

same time, we aim to apply the insights gained from orality studies (particularly

work done on the Homeric tradition) to show how the picture outlined in the

traditional sources suggests an oral recitation (qur’ā) with an initial degree of

multiformity (in this instance, ‘seven aḥruf ’), such as is characteristic of oral texts,

which is then presented in a written version (known as al-rasm al-‘Uthmāīor

al-maṣāḥif al-‘Uthmāiyya) which has a much greater degree of uniformity, such

as is characteristic of written texts, although a degree of multiformity is nevertheless

maintained (the Seven/Ten Readings, etc.). Finally, we consider the course of recent

Euro-American scholarship on the Qur’ā in the light of these observations.

Keywords: Harf/Ahruf, Readings, Mushaf, Multiformity.
