What is the chain of transmission (sanad) of Ibn al-Mi'dal for the narration of Hafs, and what is the ruling if someone claims to recite with Hafs from the path of al-Tabsirah by Makki, knowing that Rawdat Ibn al-Mi'dal and al-Tabsirah are among the original sources of al-Nashr (the widely transmitted recitations)?

Proficient reciters rely on scholarly texts and the meticulous works of accredited shaykhs, as Al-Azmiri did in "Badāʾiʿ al-Burhān," where he identified numerous issues in "An-Nashr." This also applies to the Shatibiyyah, where books like "Al-Itḥāf" and "Kanz al-Maʿani" clarified readings that deviated from its principles, by referring back to the origins of the Shatibiyyah to distinguish the correct readings.

Shaykh Amir ibn Al-Sayyid Uthman was not alone in teaching or versifying the recitation of "Rawḍat Ibn al-Muʿaddal." He was joined by the scholar Ibrahim Shehatah Al-Samannudi in his versification "Bahjat al-Liḥāẓ," and Shaykh Mustafa Al-Azmiri, who affirmed that the path of Rawḍah is among Al-Jazari's references. Ad-Dabba' and Al-Mutawalli followed suit. Furthermore, proficient shaykhs from the path of Tayyibat An-Nashr, including Ahmed Al-Zayyat, Amir, Ad-Dabba', and Muhammad Raḥīm Bakhsh, granted ijāzah (authorization) for it.

Ad-Dabba' mentioned in "Ṣarīḥ An-Naṣṣ" that Ibn Al-Jazari chose the narration of Hafs from the paths of Ubayd and Omar, and then selected the path of Amr from the paths of Al-Fīl and Dharʿān. He clarified that the path of Al-Fīl includes Ibn Khalīʿ, Al-Tabari, and Al-Ḥammāmī from several books, in addition to "Rawḍat Al-Maliki" and "Rawḍat Al-Muʿaddal" as meticulously clarified by Al-Azmiri. He also mentioned that the path of Dharʿān includes "Ghāyat Abī Al-ʿAlāʾ," "Al-Miṣbāḥ," "Kifāyat Abī Al-ʿIzz," "At-Tadhkār," and "Al-Mustanīr," as well as the paths of Al-Ḥammāmī and Al-Muṣḥafī, the recitation of Ad-Dāni, and Al-Fārisī and As-Sawsanjarī, in addition to "Rawḍat Al-Maliki" and "Rawḍat Al-Muʿaddal" as meticulously clarified by Al-Azmiri.

What supports the inclusion of Rawḍat Ibn Al-Muʿaddal among Ibn Al-Jazari's references is that he mentioned his recitation through it in several recitations. Perhaps its omission in the recitation of Hafs was an oversight on his part. Therefore, Al-Azmiri corrected him, and he was followed by contemporary shaykhs who dedicated their lives to the verification of recitations.
