The Armenian Historian Tovma Artsruni repeats Leo Isaurian's opinion later by stating that Mahmet summoned Salman and attached himself to him:
:"...and ordered him to write (the Kuran) a book of laws for his nation at the hand of Abut'uraba the Ismaelite ; for he himself did not know writing or reading. Salman agreedto write for him and set down a composite book , some of it from accurate memory , other parts being imaginary sayings "
