    This paper gives a $q$-congruences whose specializations $q=1$ and $q= -1$ correspond to supercongrences (B.2) and (H.2) on Van Hammer's list in $p$-adic Functional A analysis. At the end a general common $q$-congruence for related hypergeometric sums is given. This paper also, displays the following historical discussion, taking into account \textit{G. Bauer}'s formula [J. Reine Angew. Math. 56, 101--121 (1859; ERAM 056.1478cj)],which traditionally gives different methods for proofs of hypergeometric identities, and its special status linked to the fact that it belongs to a family of series for $\frac{1}{\pi}$ of Ramanujan type and Ramanujan treatment and discussion in [\textit{S. Ramanujan}, Quart. J. 45, 350--372 (1914; JFM 45.1249.01)]. Different methods used to prove this identity, some used hypergeometric functions, some used other methods such as a creative telescoping method which is a computer proof given by \textit{S. B. Ekhad} and \textit{D. Zeilberger} [in: Geometry, analysis and mechanics. Dedicated to Archimedes on his 2281st birthday. Singapore: World Scientific. 107--108 (1994; Zbl 0849.33003)] based on Wilf-Zilberger's of creative telescoping. The paper also gives some historic links between congruences and their methods of proof. The authors introduced and executed a new method of creative micro scoping to prove (and reprove) many \(q\)-analogues of classical supercongruences and on \(q\)-congruencies' goal of this paper is to present new $q$-analogue of Van Hammer's supercongruence, which was given in two theorems. In section two a family of one parameter \(q\)-congruencies was presented through two theorems and one Lemma. A full discussion including some limiting cases is also presented. At the end one finds a list of references.
