Codex Mashhad in the Āstān-i Quds Library (Mashhad), comprised of Manuscripts 18 and 4116, is possibly one of the most important documents for our understanding of developments in the early history of Qurʾānic text. The combination of all features of this codex as a whole is found in few copies of early Qurʾāns written in ḥijāzī style. Considering the text, the spelling rules, the variant readings, the orthographic peculiarities, and the arrangement of sūras, it may be concluded that the main part of this codex was transcribed in a very early period, probably in the first/seventh century. Yet, unlike other early Qurʾānic manuscripts, the whole Qurʾān in the initial status of Codex Mashhad has been transcribed based on the official ʿUthmānic version but according to Ibn Masʿūd’s arrangement of sūras.

Āstān-iQuds图书馆（马什哈德）中的法典马什哈德抄本（由手抄本18和4116组成），可能是我们了解古兰经文本早期历史发展的最重要文件之一。整个法典的所有特征的结合在以ijijāzī风格书写的古兰经早期副本中很少见。考虑文本，拼写规则，变体读数，拼字法的特殊性以及苏拉语的排列可以断定，该抄本的主要部分是在很早的时期（可能是在公元一世纪至七世纪）抄写的。然而，与其他早期古兰经手稿不同，整个古兰经在法典Mashhad的初始地位是根据ʿUthmānic官方版本抄写的，但根据伊本·马苏德​​（Ibn Masʿūd）对sūra的安排进行了抄写。
