وقال: أخرجه علي عليه السلام إلى الناس حين فرغ منه وكتبه فقال لهم: هذا كتاب الله عزوجل كما أنزله [الله] على محمد صلى الله عليه وآله وقد جمعته من (بين) اللوحين فقالوا: هو ذا عندنا مصحف جامع فيه القرآن لا حاجة لنا فيه، فقال أما والله ما ترونه بعد يومكم هذا أبدا، إنما كان علي أن اخبركم حين جمعته لتقرؤوه
He (i.e. the Imam) said: Ali عليه السلام took it (i.e. the Codex) out to the people when he had completed it and written it down and said to them: This is the Book of Allah Mighty and Majestic as it was sent down by Allah upon Muhammad صلى الله عليه وآله - I have gathered it between the two boards. They said: We do have a Codex in which the Qur’an has been gathered - we do not have any need of it! He said: By Allah - you will not see it after this day of yours ever! It was only (an obligation) upon me to inform you after gathering it so that you recite (from) it
