The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: In the hadith of the Prophet
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade travelling with a Qur'an in the land of the enemyصلى الله عليه وسلم في النهي أن يسافر بالقرآن إلى أرض العدو،

The Shaykh:
The mushaf, I mean, yes.

The questioner:
The question is: Was the Qur'an written during his time (peace and blessings be upon him), and was the prohibition issued for that reason?

The Shaykh:
It was written, but as a complete mushaf, they were writing sheets; they had sheets with them. As for compiling the mushaf in this form, that did not happen until the time of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him).
