Dating the Source and Sanad of the Narration of “Hudhayfah”; A Critique of John Burton's View on Falsity of Narrations on Compiling Qur’an

According to John Burton, the Qur'an was compiled during the time of the Prophet of God (PBUH) and by the Prophet himself; Hence, the narrations on collecting the Qur'an are all fabricated. He has pointed the finger of blame at Sunni jurists and introduced the first half of the third century as the time of fabrication. This article goes to date the narration of "Hudhayfah’s proposal to unify the Qur’anic Mushafs” to determine whether the claim of this English Orientalist is confirmed by the method invented by the Orientalists themselves or not. According to this research, although this narration has problems such as the small number of narrators and the uncertainty of the main narrator, even according to the opinion of people like Schacht and Juynboll, there is no conclusive evidence that it is fake, especially concerning the time claimed by Burton.
