Codex of Ibn Mas'ud

|---|
The codex of Ibn Mas'ud is a purported mushaf of the Quran that differs from the established mushaf of Uthman and is attributed to Abd Allah ibn Mas'ud, a companion of Muhammed.[1]
This variant has not been definitively found in any existing early Quranic manuscript, but details about it are mentioned in literary references and historical accounts.[2] Codex Mashhad is thought to be a combination of the canonized mushaf of Uthman with Ibn Mas'ud's arrangement.[3]
Historical accounts are inconsistent regarding the details of Ibn Mas'ud's version.[4][5] However, the reports indicate that Ibn Mas'ud's mushaf arranges the chapters differently from the canonical version and excludes the first chapter, as well as the two chapters known as Al-Mu'awwidhatayn.[6][7] It is also believed that Ibn Mas'ud had a special reading that is now forgotten.[8]
But there are those who say that Ibn Masoud did not have a specific interpretation, but rather a literal interpretation.[9][10] He did not exclude Surah Al-Fatihah and Al-Mu'awwidhatayn.[11]
This mushaf is reported to have supporters as late as the 9th century,[12] specifically in the city of Kufa.[2][13]
