S 53:36-37 Or was not informed of what is in the sheets of Musa / And Ibrahim who completed?


S 87:18-19 This is in the first sheets. / Ibrahim’s and Musa’s sheets.


As 'sheets' translates an Arabic plural (three or more), how many did they both have? What is meant by 'first' sheets? Were they scriptures? They were apparently extant in the author's lifetime; where are they now? Were Ibrahim and Musa contemporaries?
