14. The Codex of ‘Aqabah ibn ‘Amir

It was written in the Kufic script in 52/672 by ‘Aqabah ibn ‘Amir, a Companion of the Prophet (S) who lived in Damascus. He was appointed in 44/664 by Mu’awiyah ibn Abi Sufyan as the governor of Egypt where he died in 58/678. He used to recite the Qur’an in a good voice. ⁶⁶ In Taqrib al-tahdhib, his tenure in Egypt is mentioned as three year and it goes on to add that he was a faqih and a scholar. Al-Suyuti, in Husn al muhadarah writes: He was an eloquent qari and a faqih among the sahabah. ⁶⁷

This Qur’an is kept at the al-‘Amanah Library, Istanbul, with the serial number 40. Its microfilm, numbered 10, exists at Mahad al Makhtutat al-‘Arabiyyah, Cairo.⁶⁸
