An Analysis and Assessment of the Farsh Readings of Qira’a Attributed to Asim and al-Ḥasan al-Basri
Abstract
This study explores comparative farshī qirāʾāt differences across
the ṣaḥīḥ and shādh traditions. While the authorization to recite
the Qurʾān in accordance with “seven aḥruf” provided a natural
basis for the emergence of diverse qirāʾāt, early evaluations of
these readings relied primarily on the reliability of their
transmission chains (isnād). By the end of the second Hijrī
century, the criteria for determining the validity of qirāʾāt had
become systematized: qirāʾāt were first classified into ṣaḥīḥ and
shādh, and each category was further divided into uṣūl and farsh.
The farsh dimension, in particular, has gained prominence in
qirāʾāt scholarship due to its potential impact on meaning. In this
context, the aim of the study is to identify the points of similarity
and difference between the farshī qirāʾāt attributed to the ṣaḥīḥ
qirāʾāt imams and those attributed to the shādh qirāʾāt imams.
Given the breadth of the subject, the scope of this study has been
limited to a selected portion of the farshī qirāʾāt attributed to
ʿĀṣim, among the ṣaḥīḥ qirāʾāt imams, and to Ḥasan al-Baṣrī, who
is associated with the shādh qirāʾāt tradition. Although the
literature includes various studies on farsh differences, the
absence of an independent work directly comparing the farsh
aspects of ṣaḥīḥ and shādh qirāʾāt renders this research necessary
and enhances its scholarly significance. The study employs a
literature-review methodology, and general conclusions
concerning the qirāʾāt attributed to both the ṣaḥīḥ and shādh
qirāʾāt imams have been drawn from the farshī qirāʾāt examples
ascribed to the aforementioned imams. he findings indicate that
the farsh-related readings of the ṣaḥīḥ and shādh imāms exhibit a
considerable degree of similarity. This result highlights the
importance of considering practical recitational practice
alongside theoretical criteria when evaluating qirāʾāt
