Jibriyl birinchi marta Qur’on oyatlarining bir qismini Payg‘ambarga ﷺ o‘qib bergach, Payg‘ambar ﷺ uni so‘zma-so‘z ortidan takrorlashga urindi. Keyinroq Alloh Jibriyl orqali unga bunday qilmaslikni aytdi. Unga buning o‘rniga Qur’onni diqqat bilan tinglash buyurildi. Payg‘ambar ﷺ shunday qilganida, Alloh unga hech qanday harakat qilmasdan hammasini eslab qolish imkonini berdi. Alloh Qur’onda shunday degan:

When Jibreel first recited a part of the Qur’aan to the Prophet (ﷺ), the Prophet (ﷺ) tried to repeat it after him, word for word. Allaah later had Jibreel tell him not to do so. He was told instead to listen to the Qur’aan carefully. When the Prophet (r) did that, Allaah caused him to be able to remember everything without any effort on his part. Allaah said in the Qur’aan,

Payg'ambar ﷺ ga nozil qilingan narsalarning hammasini eslab qolishi juda muhim edi, chunki u na o'qiy, na yoza olardi.

It was very important that the Prophet (r) remember all that was revealed to him, because he could neither read nor write.

Payg'ambar (ﷺ) vafot etishidan oldin Qur'onning hammasini o'z sahobalariga yetkazgan. U sahobalar uni aynan o'zi o'rgangandek yodlashlari va yozib olishlarini ta'minlash uchun bir necha xil usullardan foydalangan.

The Prophet (ﷺ) passed on all of the Qur’aan to his companions before he died. He used a number of different ways to make sure that they memorized and recorded it exactly as he learned it.

1. Payg‘ambar (ﷺ) namozlarda (jamoat namozlarida) Qur’onning turli qismlarini ovoz chiqarib tilovat qilar edilar. Shu tariqa, sahobalari Qur’on oyatlarining bir qismini har kuni eshitib turar edilar.69

1. The Prophet (ﷺ) used to recite aloud various parts of the Qur’aan in the salaahs (congregational prayers). In that way, his followers used to hear parts of the Qur’aan daily.69

2. Islomni qabul qilgan har bir kishiga kundalik namozlarida ishlatishi kerak bo‘lgan Qur’onning ayrim qismlari o‘rgatilardi. Shunday qilib, musulmonlar Qur’onning turli qismlarini doimo o‘rganardilar yoki o‘rgatardilar.

2. Everyone who entered Islaam would be taught parts of the Qur’aan that they would have to use in their daily prayers. Thus, Muslims were always learning or teaching various parts of the Qur’aan.

3. Payg'ambar (ﷺ) o'z izdoshlariga ularning eng yaxshisi Qur'onni o'rgangan va o'rgatgan kishilar ekanini xabar qildilar. Bu ularni Qur'onni yodlashga va boshqalarga o'rgatishga yanada katta harakat qilishga undadi.

3. The Prophet (ﷺ) informed his followers that the best of them were those who learned and taught the Qur’aan. This encouraged them to make even greater efforts to memorize the Qur’aan and teach it to others.

4. Qur'on oyatlarini yozishga qodir bo'lganlarga PayG'ambar (ﷺ) vahiy nozil bo'lganida uning turli qismlarini yozib olishni buyurdilar. Payg'ambar (ﷺ) oyatlarni qaysi tartibda yozish kerakligini ularga aytib turardilar. Al-Bara' ibn 'Ozib rivoyat qilishicha, "Uyda o'tirgan mo'minlar jihod qiluvchilar bilan teng emas" degan oyat nozil bo'lganda, Payg'ambar (ﷺ) dedilar: "Falonchini chaqiringlar." U siyohdon va yog'och taxtacha yoki kurak suyagi bilan keldi. Payg'ambar (ﷺ) dedilar: "Yoz: 'Uyda o'tirgan mo'minlar Alloh yo'lida jihod qiluvchilar bilan teng emas...'"70

4. Those who were able to read and write were told by the Prophet (ﷺ) to write down the various sections of the Qur’aan as they were revealed. The Prophet (ﷺ) would tell them the order in which they should record the verses. Al-Baraa’ ibn ‘Aazib stated that when the verse, “Those believers who sit (at home) are not equal with those who strive,” was revealed, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Call So-and-so.” He came with an inkpot and a wooden board or a shoulder blade. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Write: ‘Those believers who sit (at home) are not equal with those who strive in the cause of Allaah...’ ”70

Arabiston yarimorolida o‘sha paytda qog‘oz bo‘lmagani uchun Qur’on qo‘lga kelgan har qanday narsaga yozib olingan. Sahobalar Qur’on oyatlarini xurmo barglariga, yassi toshlarga, daraxt po‘stlog‘iga, yog‘ochga, quritilgan hayvon terilariga, hatto qo‘y yoki tuyaning kurak suyaklariga yozganlar. Shunday qilib, Payg‘ambar (ﷺ) hayotligida Qur’on oyatlari ham yozib saqlanar, ham musulmonlarning qalbida saqlanar edi. Islomga kirish Payg‘ambarlik davrining turli bosqichlarida yuz bergani uchun, ulardan faqat bir qismi Qur’onni butunlay Payg‘ambar (ﷺ) og‘zidan bevosita eshitgan edi. Ba’zi sahobalar boshqalarga qaraganda yaxshiroq yodlar edi. Shunday bo‘lsa-da, ularning hammasi Qur’onning bir qismini yod olgan bo‘lsa, Payg‘ambar (ﷺ) hayotligida Qur’onni to‘liq yod olganlar faqat ozchilik edi.

Because there was no paper in Arabia at that time, the Qur’aan was written down on anything that was available. The companions wrote the verses of the Qur’aan on date palm leaves, flat stones, tree bark, wood, dried animal skins, and even the shoulder blades of sheep or camels. Thus, the verses of the Qur’aan were preserved in the hearts of Muslims, as well as written down, during the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ). Since people entered Islaam at various points during the Prophet’s mission, only a few of them heard all of the Qur’aan directly from the Prophet (ﷺ). Some companions were able to memorize better than others. So, even though all of them memorized portions of the Qur’aan, only a few were able to memorize all of the Qur’aan during the Prophet’s lifetime. on date palm leaves, flat stones, tree bark, wood, dried animal skins, and even the shoulder blades of sheep or camels.

Payg'ambar (ﷺ) 632-yilda vafot etganlarida, Qur'oni karim butunlay bitta kitob holida yozib olinmagan edi. U turli yozuv materiallariga yozilgan bo'lib, Payg'ambarning (ﷺ) turli sahobalari qo'lida saqlanardi. Har birida qismlar bor edi, lekin hech kimda uning hammasi mavjud emas edi. Qur'on oyatlari Payg'ambar vafotidan bir necha oy oldingacha nozil bo'lishda davom etgani sababli, sahobalar uni bitta kitobga jamlashdan ko'ra, yozib olish va yodlashga ko'proq e'tibor berishgan. Shu sababli, Qur'onning bitta matnga jamlanishi Payg'ambarning (ﷺ) hayotligi davrida amalga oshirilmagan.

When the Prophet (ﷺ) died in the year 632 CE, the whole of the Qur’aan was not written down in one complete book. It was recorded on various pieces of writing material and kept in the possession of different followers of the Prophet (ﷺ). Each had sections, but none of them had all of it. Because of the fact that the verses of the Qur’aan continued to be revealed up until a few months before the Prophet’s death, the companions were more concerned with recording and memorizing than putting it all together in one book. Consequently, the gathering of the Qur’aan into one text was not done during the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ).
