A consideration of the theory of exceptions in makki and madani chapters

By exceptional verses is meant makki verse in madani chapter and madani verse in makki chapter. There cannot be found any reference to this theory in sources in first and second century of Hijri. In the third, however, it was found on a small scale; in the next two centuries, the number of the cases increased gradually and in the sixth and seventh it came to its ultimate point. dŚĞƌĞĨŽƌĞ͕ ƚŚĞƌĞ ĐĂŶ ďĞ ĨŽƵŶĚ ϭϵϳ ŵĂĚĂŶŝ ǀĞƌƐĞƐ ŝŶ ŵĂŬŬŝ ĐŚĂƉƚĞƌƐ ĂŶĚ͕ Ϯϲ ŵĂŬŬŝ ǀĞƌƐĞƐ ŝŶ ŵĂĚĂŶŝ ŽŶĞƐ ŝŶ the sources. Scholars in the field of Quranic sciences have defined makki and madani chapters on different standards of address, place and time. The paper has known time as the best and, presenting the proofs of those believing in exceptions critically, rejected the theory.
