Okay, I find that I just can't summarize all of my thoughts into 1 simple post, so I'll just start from top-to-bottom and ask a question or 2 at a time.
<b>Question #1</b>
Are you saying that he committed all 7 or 10 or 14 different pronunciations and thus that Gabriel also spoke all these different recitation styles?
Quote:The Prophet Muhammad, saws himself was the first to commit a revelation to memory after the Angel Gabriel had brought it to him:
<b>Question #2</b>
Similar question to the 1st one. So, here, the companions were to memorize all the different recitation styles? Did they each speak these different dialects or were there some of his companions who spoke these different one’s as their native speech and thus they were responsible only for the recitation in their own dialect?
Quote: The Prophet, saws then declared the revelation and instructed his Companions to memorise it.
