Abstract

The difference in Qur’anic readings as an undeniable fact in the Prophetic era began due to differences in the dialect and accent of Muslims. In order to provide a better context for understanding the language of the Qur'an and its expressive style, the Messenger of God (PBUH) allowed the companions to express and explain their understanding of the Qur'an while reading the Qur'an. Therefore, in the readings of the Companions, their explanatory, interpretive and descriptive words and sentences have been reported in a mixed way (along with Quranic phrases and verses). Although the Holy Prophet allowed the Companions to express their understanding of the Qur'an while reading and reciting it, but they always emphasized that it should not be recorded and included in the original text of the Qur'an. There are Qur’anic readings narrated from Ubay ibn Ka'b, the eminent Qur'anic reciter and teacher and companion of the Messenger of God, to whom he presented the Qur'an several times, which the present article has tried to categorize by reporting them.
