The answer

The variation in editions of the (Qur'an) is due to the difference in recitations (Qira'at). In Morocco, the recitation of Nafi' is prevalent, with its two narrations, Warsh and Qalun, and most of their Musahif are according to the narration of Warsh. In contrast, in the East, the narration of Hafs from Asim is prevalent. This difference has affected some words, such as "ننشرها" (nanshuruha), which some have recited with a 'zay' (نُنشزها - nunshizuha) and others with a 'ra' (نُنشِرها - nunshiruha). Thus, the observable variation is due to the difference in recitations.
