"Mushaf" is a word referring to the [[Qur'an]]. According to historical sources, such use of the word traces back to the period of [[Abu Bakr]]. According to Quranic scholars, the [[Prophet (s)]] himself never compiled the whole Qur'an within a single manuscript, although he had specified [[verse|Quranic verses]] and names of [[sura|Quranic suras]]. The compilation of the Qur'an with separate suras and the arrangement of its suras were carried out after the [[demise of the Prophet (s)]] by his [[companions]]. Every one of the companions began to compile their own Quranic manuscript after the Prophet's demise. Thus, many mushafs or manuscripts came to exist. [[Mushaf of Imam Ali (a)]], Mushaf of [[Abd Allah b. Mas'ud]], Mushaf of [[Ubayy b. Ka'b]], Mushaf of [[Abu Musa al-Ash'ari]], and Mushaf of [[Miqdad b. al-Aswad]] were the best-known mushafs compiled by the [[companions]]. | "Mushaf" is a word referring to the [[Qur'an]].
