1240—Ibn Makhlad also narrated to us, saying: Ubayd Allah ibn Jarīr ibn Jabalah al-Atakī narrated to us, saying: Al-Hakam—meaning Ibn Marwān—narrated to us, saying: Al-Hasan ibn Sālih narrated to us, from Amr ibn Qays, from Abū al-Hasnā, that Alī—may Allah be pleased with him—“instructed a man to lead the people in prayer during Ramadan in five sets of Tarawih—twenty units of prayer.” ⦗1782⦘

Muhammad ibn al-Husayn—may Allah have mercy on him—said: Likewise, Alī ibn Abī Tālib—may Allah be pleased with him—gave his pledge to Uthmān ibn Affān—may Allah be pleased with him—regarding his compilation of the Quranic codex, and deemed his judgment in compiling it to be correct. He said, “The first to compile it was Abū Bakr al-Siddīq—may Allah be pleased with him.” Alī ibn Abī Tālib—may Allah ennoble his countenance—also condemned certain groups among the people of Kufa who faulted Uthmān—may Allah be pleased with him—for compiling the Quranic codex, and he denounced them most vehemently, contrary to the claims of the Rāfidah.
