[2] "Let none touch it but the purified." (Sura lvi. 78.) [3] "It was certainly an admirable and politic contrivance of his to bring down the whole Koran at once to the lowest heaven only, and not to the earth, as a bungling prophet would have done; for if the whole had been published at once, innumerable objections might have been made, which it would have been very hard, if not impossible for him to solve; but as he pretended to receive it by parcels, as God saw proper that they should be published for the conversion and instruction of the people, he had a sure way to answer all emergencies, and to extricate himself with honour from any difficulty which might occur." (Sale's Preliminary Discourse, Section III.) [4] Literary Remains of Emmanuel Deutsch, p. 77. [5] Prolegomenes d'Ibn Khaldoun, vol. i. p. 195. [6] "The grandeur of the Quran consists, its contents apart, in its diction. We cannot explain the peculiarly dignified, impressive, sonorous nature of Semitic sound and parlance; its sesquipedalia verba with their crowd of affixes and prefixes, each of them affirming its own position, whilst consciously bearing upon and influencing the central root--which they envelope like a garment of many folds, or as chosen courtiers move around the anointed person of the king." Literary Remains of Emmanuel Deutsch, p. 122. [7] Prolegomenes d'Ibn Khaldoun vol. i. p. 194. [8] Those who were in constant intercourse with the prophet are called Ashab (Companions); their disciples are named Tabi'in (Followers); their disciples are known as Taba-i-Tabi'in (Followers of the Followers)." [9] "Thus, after the usual distribution of the spoils taken on the field of Cadesia (A.H. 14) the residue was divided among those who knew most of the Coran." Muir, vol. i. p. 5. [10] Muavia.
