Those who said: honor the Quran

Ibrahim said that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) disliked that the Qur'an be written in a small mushaf.

The same action of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) is reported from Ibrahim through this chain as well, except that he said: "mushafs."

Mughirah said that Ibrahim said: "It used to be said: Honour the Qur'an, meaning write it in large mushafs."

Ubaydullah bin Sulayman al-Abdi said that Abu Hakimah al-Abdi said: We used to write the Qur'an in mushafs in Kufah. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by us while we were writing. He stopped and said: "Cut the nib of your pen." He said: So I cut its nib and then wrote, and he said: "Make it clear in this way, just as Allah has made it clear."

Ali bin al-Mubarak said that Abu Hakimah al-Abdi said: We used to write the Qur'an in mushafs in Kufah. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by us, and he stood and looked, and he praised our fine handwriting and said: "Make it clear in this way, just as Allah has made it clear."

Layth said that Mujahid disliked saying: "a little Qur'an."
