No. of Surahs in Ubayy’s Mushaf

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله وحده و الصلاة و السلام على من لا نبي بعده و على آله و أصحابه أجمعين

No. of surahs (chapters) in the Mushaf (personal Qur’an copy) of Ubayy bin Ka’b –may Allah be pleased with him, is one of the top ten arguments of orientalists and Christians against the Muslim assertions on fool proof preservation of the Qur’anic text.

It is said that Ubayy’s mushaf had two “additional surahs” and the polemicists make use of such statements arguing against the unanimity of the earliest Muslims on the Qur’an’s content.

Following is the reproduction of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan’s (d. 1898 A.C.) wonderful research on the origins of the epilepsy lie about the Holy Prophet –peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. The text reproduced here is part of his essay; “Birth and Childhood of Muhammad” included in his rebuttal to William Muir (d. 1905 A.C.), “The Life of Muhammad and Subjects Subsidiary Thereto” originally published in 1870 and reprinted in 2008 by Sang-e-Meel publications, Lahore.
