Ibrahim Nakha'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him) wanted to have a Mushaf written, but he disliked paying a wage for its transcription. Therefore, he himself bought paper, ink, and the necessary materials for it, and gave them to one of his companions so that he could write it for him.
