Are the ten recitations the remnants of the seven scriptural modes?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : These ten recitations are remnants of the recitations.
The Shaykh : No, not at all. The scholars say that now all seven scriptural modes have been forgotten and no trace of them remains. All seven or ten recitations, according to the view that they are all established, are in the language of Quraysh.
The questioner : Now. The remaining words, perhaps, are about the boldness.
The Shaykh : But these recitations do not differ except by a slight difference. Therefore, you will not find a word differing from a word, nor an addition of a word over a word. You will not find in all the recitations except perhaps four or five places where there is an addition of a conjunction or its deletion only.
