3. آل عمران Āl ‘Imrān
Bouvard, P: Un Coran terminé en 700 ? La troisième sourate nous éclaire.
Un des nœuds de désaccord entre islamologues sur lequel repose toute la chronologie est la période à laquelle la rédaction du Coran s’est achevée. Selon l’histoire traditionnelle, il s’agit de 650 environ, avec le Coran dit d’Othman. Pour de très nombreux islamologues, le Coran était terminé vers l’an 700. Enfin, d’autres islamologues occidentaux nous donnent des dates ultérieures, avec la création de sourates sous les Abbassides.

Zinner, S: The Phoenix of 2 Enoch/3 Baruch in Qurʾān Sūra 100. A disproportionate amount of the total words in āyāt 1-5 of Qurʾān Sūra 100 are hapax legomena, namely, al-ʿādiyāti, ḍabḥā, qadḥā, al-mūriyāt, naqʿāand wasaṭna. Since these words were intensely disputed by traditional tafsīr authorities, part of the difficulty may lie in the possible status of at least some of these words as foreign loanwords. Enochic traditions of Rabbinic literature may shed light on sūra 100.
