Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 25052 — The permission to write the Quran

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both). He said: When a woman has difficulty in delivering her child, these two verses and words should be written in a bowl, then washed off, and this water given to the woman to drink. (The meaning of the words is as follows:) In the name of Allah, besides whom there is no deity, the Most Forbearing, the Most Generous. Glorified is Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Mighty Throne. "On the Day they see it, it will be as if they had remained only an evening or its morning," and "On the Day they see what they are promised, it will be as if they had remained only an hour of a day. This is a proclamation; so will any be destroyed except the defiantly disobedient people?"
