Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman رضی اللہ عنہ came to `Uthman رضی اللہ عنہ at the time when the people of Sham and the people of Iraq were Waging war to conquer Arminya and Adharbijan. Hudhaifa رضی اللہ عنہ was afraid of their (the people of Sham and Iraq) differences in the recitation of the Qur'an, so he said to `Uthman رضی اللہ عنہ , "O chief of the Believers! Save this nation before they differ about the Book (Qur'an) as Jews and the Christians did before." So `Uthman رضی اللہ عنہ sent a message to Hafsa saying, "Send us the manuscripts of the Qur'an so that we may compile the Qur'anic materials in perfect copies and return the manuscripts to you." Hafsa رضی اللہ عنہا sent it to `Uthman رضی اللہ عنہ . `Uthman رضی اللہ عنہ then ordered Zaid bin Thabit رضی اللہ عنہ , `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair, Sa`id bin Al-As and `Abdur Rahman bin Harith bin Hisham to rewrite the manuscripts in perfect copies. `Uthman رضی اللہ عنہ said to the three Quraishi men, "In case you disagree with Zaid bin Thabit on any point in the Qur'an, then write it in the dialect of Quraish, the Qur'an was revealed in their tongue." They did so, and when they had written many copies, `Uthman رضی اللہ عنہ returned the original manuscripts to Hafsa. `Uthman رضی اللہ عنہ sent to every Muslim province one copy of what they had copied, and ordered that all the other Qur'anic materials, whether written in fragmentary manuscripts or whole copies, be burnt.
