Al-Adiyat  Al-ʿĀdiyāt (, "The Courser, The Chargers") is the 100th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an with 11 verses ("āyāt"). Regarding the timing and contextual background of the supposed revelation ("asbāb al-nuzūl"), it is an earlier "Meccan surah", which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, instead of later in Medina. According to hadith this surah is recommended in Maghrib prayer. In-book reference : Book 2, Hadith 423 English translation : Book 2, Hadith 812  Hamiduddin Farahi is a celebrated Islamic scholar of Indian subcontinent is known for his groundbreaking work on the concept of Nazm, or Coherence, in the Quran. He writes that Some sūrahs have been given names after some conspicuous words used in them. Jalaluddin Al-Suyuti co-author of the classical Sunni tafsīr known as Tafsir al-Jalalayn d after the word Adiyat with which it opens. Surahs in the Qur'an are not arranged in the chronological order of revelation because the order of the wahy or "chronological order of revelation" is not a textual part of the Quran. Muhammad told his followers sahaba the placement in Quranic order of every Wahy revealed along with the original text of Quran. Wm Theodore de Bary, an East Asian studies expert, describes that "The final process of collection and codification of the Quran text was guided by one over-arching principle: God's words must not in any way be distorted or sullied by human intervention. For this reason, no serious attempt, apparently, was made to edit the numerous revelations, organize them into thematic units, or present them in chronological order...". The manuscript, or version, of the Quran we see today was compiled by Uthman, the third caliph (reign 644 to 656); a caliph being the political leader of a Caliphate (Islamic government).Before Uthman canonized the Quran there were different versions or codices, none of which exist today. These codices never gained general approval and were viewed by Muslims as the personal copies of individuals. However, "the search for variants in the partial versions extant before the Caliph Uthman's alleged recension in the 640s has not yielded any differences of great significance".
