Ebook-Engine | Your Free Ebook Search Engine! Corpus Coranicum. Die nach 651 n.Chr., nach dem Tod Yazdegerd III (632-651) geprägte arabisch-sassanidische Münze enthält die Formel bi-smi llāh, die außerhalb des arabisch-sassanidischen Raumes auf islamischen Siegeln und Intaglios (Gemmen mit eingravierter bildlicher Darstellung) vor dem Ende des 7. Jahrhunderts noch recht selten auftritt. Philippe Gignoux sieht in den mittelpersischen Inschriften und Aufschriften sassanidischer Artefakte Indizien dafür, dass die Basmala historisch aus der mittelpersischen Formel "Im Namen der Götter" (pad nām ī yazdān) entstanden ist . Diese mittelpersische Invokationsformel "im Namen der Götter" (pad nām ī yazdān),mit der die Inschrift von Paikuli (3. Jahrhundert) und die Inschrift von Meškīnšahr (4. Jh.) beginnt, könnte bereits in der Entstehungszeit des Korans in den SIngular gesetzt worden sein, zu einer Formel "Im Namen Gottes" (Gignoux 1979, S. 159-163).
