Was the phrase "came that day with Hell" written by mistake, and did the Prophet correct the revelation by wiping his hand over the scripture to correct errors?
The Qur'anic manuscripts differ in the spelling of "وجيء" (wuji'a - and brought) in Surahs Az-Zumar and Al-Fajr. Some have an alif after the jim, based on the Medinan (in the East), while others do not have an alif, based on the original (in the West). Both spellings are affirmed in ancient Qur'anic manuscripts. The spelling of the Mushaf is divinely ordained (tawqifi) and a to be followed, even if it contradicts standard orthography, either by the command of the Prophet or by following the Rightly Guided Caliphs. It has an inimitability in its spelling and its added or omitted letters. The Qur'an was revealed in seven ahruf (modes of recitation), and it was written before the Prophet in a script that conforms to these modes.
