Is the difference in the word "they see them" (يرونهم) and "you see them" (ترونهم) in verse 12 of Surat Al Imran due to different recitation traditions, such as the narration of Warsh from Nafi' and the narration of Hafs, and are there other differences?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Warsh and Qalun read "Tarawnahum" (تَرَوْنَهُمْ) with a "ta" (ت), because they both narrated from Nafi'. As for the other six reciters, they read it with a "ya" (ي). There are significant differences between the narrations of Hafs from Asim and Warsh from Nafi', and both are valid, consecutively transmitted readings.
