During the time of 'Uthman differences in reading the Qur'an became obvious, and after consultation with the Companions, 'Uthman had a standard copy prepared from the Suhuf of Abu Bakr that were kept with Hafsa at that time.

Ga rahoton da aka ruwaito a cikin Sahihul Bukhari:

The following is the report transmitted in the Sahih Bukhari:

Anas bin Malik ya ruwaito: Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman ya zo wajen 'Uthman a lokacin da mutanen Sham da mutanen Iraki suke yaƙi don cin nasarar Arminya da Adharbijan. Hudhaifa ya ji tsoron bambance-bambancen da ke tsakanin mutanen Sham da mutanen Iraki wajen karatun Alƙur'ani, sai ya ce wa 'Uthman: "Ya shugaban Muminai! Ka ceci wannan al'umma kafin su saɓa wa juna game da Littafin (Alƙur'ani), kamar yadda Yahudawa da Nasara suka yi a baya." Sai 'Uthman ya aika da saƙo zuwa ga Hafsa yana cewa: "Ki aiko mana da takardun Alƙur'ani domin mu kwafa abubuwan Alƙur'ani a cikin cikakkun kwafi, sannan mu mayar muku da takardun." Hafsa ta aika wa 'Uthman da su. 'Uthman ya umarci Zaid bin Thabit, 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair, Sa'id bin Al-'As da 'Abdur Rahman bin Harith bin Hisham su sake rubuta takardun a cikakkun kwafi. 'Uthman ya ce wa mutanen Quraishi uku: "Idan kun saɓa wa Zaid bin Thabit a wani wuri na Alƙur'ani, to ku rubuta shi a yaren Quraish, domin an saukar da Alƙur'ani a harshensu." Suka yi haka, kuma bayan sun rubuta kwafi da yawa, 'Uthman ya mayar wa Hafsa takardun asali. 'Uthman ya aika wa kowane lardin Musulunci kwafin abin da suka kwafa, kuma ya umarci a ƙone duk sauran abubuwan Alƙur'ani, ko an rubuta su a cikin takardu guda-guda ko cikakkun kwafi. Zaid bin Thabit ya ƙara da cewa: "Wani ayah daga Suratul Al-Ahzab ya ɓace min lokacin da muke kwafin Alƙur'ani, kuma ina jin Manzon Allah ﷺ yana karanta shi. Sai muka nemo shi, muka same shi wajen Khuzaima bin Thabit Al-Ansari." (Ayar ita ce): "Daga cikin Muminai akwai mazan da suka cika alkawarin da suka yi wa Allah" (33: 23). [Bukhari, VI, No.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman came to 'Uthman at the time when the people of Sham and the people of Iraq were waging war to conquer Arminya and Adharbijan. Hudhaifa was afraid of their (the people of Sham and Iraq) differences in the recitation of the Qur'an, so he said to 'Uthmfin, '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 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 sent it to 'Uthman. 'Uthman then ordered Zaid bin Thabit, 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair, Sa'id bin Al-'As and 'Abdur Rahman bin Hari-bin Hisham to rewrite the manuscripts in perfect copies. 'Uthman 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 as the Qur'an was revealed in their tongue'. They did so, and when they had written many copies, 'Uthman returned the original manuscripts to Hafsa. 'Uthman 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. Zaid bin Thabit added, 'A verse from Sura al-Ahzab was missed by me when we copied the Qur'an and I used to hear Allah's Apostle reciting it. So we searched for it and found it with Khuzaima bin Thabit Al-Ansari'. (That verse was): 'Among the Believers are men who have been true in their convenant with Allah' (33: 23). [Bukhari, VI, No.

Abubuwan da ke biye ne suka kai ga shirya mushafin 'Uthman:

510] The following events led to the preparation of the mushaf of 'Uthman:

An samu sabani tsakanin Musulmai game da daidai hanyar karatun Alkur'ani.

 Disputes had arisen among the Muslims about the correct manner of reciting the Qur'an.

'Uthman ya aro Suhuf, waɗanda aka ajiye tare da Hafsa.

 'Uthman borrowed the Suhuf, which were kept with Hafsa.

'Uthman ya umarci sahabbai huɗu, daga cikinsu akwai Zaid bin Thabit, da su sake rubuta rubutun a cikin kwafi cikakku.

 'Uthman ordered four Companions, among them Zaid bin Thabit, to rewrite the script in perfect copies.

'Uthman ya aika da waɗannan kwafe-kwafen zuwa manyan cibiyoyin Musulmai don su maye gurbin sauran rubuce-rubucen da ke yawo a hannu.

 'Uthman sent these copies to the main centres of the Muslims to replace other materials that were in circulation.

Kusan shekara ta 610, annabta ta Muhammadu ﷺ ta fara.

Around 610 Muhammad's Prophethood commences.

Wahayin farko a cikin kogo a Dutsen Hira An watsa shi da baki, daga baya kuma aka rubuta shi.

1st revelation in cave on Mount Hira Transmitted orally, later in written form.

610-32 Muhammad in Makka and Madina.

Wahayi mai ci gaba a lokuta da dama, da aka watsa shi da baki bayan an haddace shi daga mutane da yawa, da kuma rubuta wahayin da sahabbai daban-daban suka yi bisa umarni kai tsaye daga Annabi ﷺ da kansa.

Continious revelation on numerous occasions Transmitted orally after memorisation by many, and writing down of revelation by various companions upon the direct instruction of the Prophet himself.

Mutuwar Annabi ﷺ. Wahayi na ƙarshe ya zo kwanaki kaɗan kafin wannan.

632 Prophets death. Last revelation few days before this.

Cikakken wahayi ya kasance an adana shi a cikin zukatan sahabbai da dama, haka kuma a kan kayan rubutu daban-daban.

Compelete revelation left behind both in the memories of various companions as well as on various writing materials.

A lokacin rasuwar Annabi ﷺ, an bar cikakken wahayi.

At the death of the Prophet, complete revelation left behind.

632-34 Khalifancin Abu Bakr 633 A lokacin yakin Yamama, sahabbai da dama wadanda suka haddace Alkur'ani sun rasa rayukansu.

632-34 Abu Bakrs caliphate 633 During the battle of Yamama several companions who knew the Quran by heart were killed.

Abu Bakr ya umurci Zaid b. Thabit da ya shirya kwafi guda ɗaya na cikakken wahayin.

Abu Bakr instructs Zaid b. Thabit to prepare a single copy of the complete revelation.

Zaid b. Thabit ya tattara dukkan wahayin cikin Suhuf, daga tushen baka da kuma na rubutu, yana bukatar shaidu biyu ga kowane yanki. Suhuf din sun zauna a wurin Abu Bakr.

Zaid b. Thabit brings together all the revelation into the Suhuf from both oral as well as written sources demanding two witnesses for each piece. The Suhuf remain with Abu Bakr.

Wahayin, kamar yadda Annabi ﷺ ya bar shi, yana samuwa duka a baki da kuma a rubuce a kan abubuwa daban-daban. Tsarin cikinsa sananne ne ga Musulmai, kuma suna kiyaye shi sosai.

The revelation, as left by the Prophet, was available both orally and written on various materials. Its internal order was known to the Muslims and strictly observed by them.

Abu Bakr ya tattara waɗannan kayayyakin da ba a haɗa su waje ɗaya ba, ya sa a rubuta abubuwan da ke cikinsu a kan shafuka (Suhuf).

Abu Bakr collected these loose materials and had their contents written on to sheets (Suhuf).

Abu Bakr ya yi kwafa guda ɗaya daga cikin kayan baki da rubuce-rubuce daban-daban. Daga baya Umar ne ya ajiye wannan kwafi, sannan 'yarsa Hafsa ta karɓe shi.

Abu Bakr had made one single copy from the various verbal and written material. This copy was later kept by 'Umar and then by his daughter Hafsa.

'Uthman ya sa aka yi kwafi da yawa daga wannan kwafin, ya aika su zuwa wurare daban-daban na duniyar Musulmi, yayin da aka mayar da ainihin Suhuf zuwa ga Hafsa, kuma suka zauna a wurinta har zuwa mutuwarta. Daga baya, Marwan b. Hakam (d. 65/684), bisa ga wata riwaya a cikin Ibn Abi Dawud, ya karɓe ta daga magadanta, ya kuma sa aka lalata ta, mai yiwuwa saboda tsoron cewa za ta iya zama sanadin sabon rikici. 'Uthman ya kuma ajiye wani kwafi domin kansa. Wannan sigar rubutun, wadda aka fi sani da 'Mushaf 'Uthman, a zahiri tana wakiltar ijma'in (yarjejeniyar) sahabbai, dukansu sun amince cewa ya ƙunshi abin da Muhammad ﷺ ya kawo a matsayin wahayi daga Allah.

'Uthman had many copies prepared from this copy and sent them to various places in the Muslim world, while the original Suhuf were returned to Hafsa and remained with her until her death. Later, Marwan b. Hakam (d. 65/684), according to a report in Ibn Abi Dawud, collected it from her heirs and had it destroyed, presumably fearing it might become the cause for new disputes. 'Uthman also kept one of the copies for himself. This version of the text, also known as 'Mushaf 'Uthman in fact constitutes the ijma'(consensus) of the sahaba, all of whom agreed that it contained what Muhammad had brought as revelation from Allah.

Bisa ga abin da Ibn Abi Dawud ya ruwaito (117-8), an yi canje-canje guda goma sha ɗaya a ƙarƙashin al-Hajjaj, daga cikinsu misali: a cikin 5:48 an canza 'shari'atan wa minhajan' zuwa 'shir'atan wa minhajan'; a cikin 12:45 an canza 'ana atikum bi-ta'wilihi' zuwa ana unabbi'ukum bi ta'wilihi.

[According to Ibn Abi Dawud (117-8) eleven changes were made under al-Hajjaj, among them e.g. 5:48 'shari'atan wa minhajan' into 'shir'atan wa minhajan'; 12:45 'ana atikum bi-ta'wilihi' into ana unabbi'ukum bi ta'wilihi.

Waɗannan kuskuran da aka yi a lokacin shirya kwafin Uthman ne, a cewar Ibn Abi Dawud (pp. 37-49).

These are again according to Ibn Abi Dawud mistakes which were made in the preparation of Uthmans copy (pp. 37-49).
