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 عليه السلام certain letters from the Holy Quran, while I was present, which were not like those that people read. Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام 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 عليه السلام had written and said, ‘Ali عليه السلام 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 عليه السلام 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.’”
