However, one opinion is that they are Mashhur.&nbsp;The truth in this regard is that they are Mutawatir from these seven [Qurr&#8217;a]. As far as their Tawatur from the Prophet (sws) is concerned, this is debatable. For the chain of narrators of these seven are found in the books of Qira&#8217;at. These chains are transmission from a single person to another and do not fulfill the condition of Tawatur either from the first narrator to the last or in between.
