How can there be different readings of a single verse, such as verse 24 of Surat Al-Hadid (and whoever turns away – then indeed Allah is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy), where some readings mention the word "He" (هو) while other readings, like the reading of Warsh, omit it, given that a condition for a reading is its conformity to the Uthmanic Mushaf? So, how do these different readings meet this condition?

The article summarizes the discussion about the Uthmani script of the Quran and its rules, indicating that the Companions wrote the Quran based on what they had learned, and that the original reliance was on what was memorized in the hearts, not what was written. It then details the number of copies of the Quran (masaḥif) that Uthman ibn Affan sent to the various regions, mentioning that they were six copies (the Imam, the Medinan, the Meccan, the Damascene, the Kufan, and the Basran), affirming that these copies were the basis for reproducing other copies of the Quran. It clarified that the scribes did not always intend to accommodate all readings in the script, and that the variation in script is considered a variation of diversity, not contradiction, and is beneficial for the multiplicity of meanings. It concluded by stating that the Uthmani masaḥif differed in the writing of some letters, yet all of it is the word of Allah, and that the validity of a reading is conditioned upon its conformity to the script of one of these masaḥif.
