| description | The knowledge of being meccan or medinite concerning the chapters and <br /> verses of the Quran has a significant role in the correct interpretation of this <br /> holy book. Therefore, in order to indentify this aspect of the verses, scholars <br /> have showed much effort in different ways, all through centuries since early <br /> islam till now. At the beginning, the Companions were questioned about it; <br /> later on, their sayings and that of the Successors took the form of hadith with <br /> different classifications: some expressing rules for recognition of these kind of <br /> verses; a variety of them specifying particular cases; others indicating the <br /> chronology of revelation and a number of them stating the cause of <br /> revelation. These traditions have become the main proofs for this kind of
classification of verses and chapters. During the long scholastic history of this <br /> study, from the time of the Companions till the last two centuries, the efforts <br /> for recognition of the meccan and medinite verses can be classified in the <br /> following three approaches:
1. Based on hadiths ;as the main proof which usually on the time of <br /> contradictory traditions ended to both exclusion of numerous verses from the <br /> whole chapter and belief in re-descendent of the verse or chapter or its <br /> revelation in the road between Mecca and Medina;
2. Based on identifying rules, the result of which has been few rules regarding <br /> the subject of the meccan and medinite verses;
3. Based on form and content of verses which has been usually depending on <br /> the subject of the traditions concerning the cause of revelation and not the <br /> proper verses.
In the two recent centuries new approaches can be seen employing different <br /> data including: statistical details about verses and chapters; style, tone and<br /> length of verses and the content of the verses. These recent scholars have <br /> given new solutions to the problem of contradictory traditions without <br /> accepting re-descendent of verses or its exclusion from the whole chapter. <br /> Consequently to reach a proper method ,with least error, all the clues and <br /> evidences should be taken into consideration. |
