From which original source was Quran compiled?
The compilation of the Qur'an was carried out during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and later formalized under the caliphate of Uthman ibn Affan. Uthman ordered the compilation of the Qur'an into Mushafs to preserve its authenticity and ensure uniformity in recitation. He instructed Zaid ibn Thabit, Saeed ibn Al-As, Abdullah ibn Al-Zubair, and Abdurrahman ibn Al-Harith ibn Hisham to undertake this task. Uthman emphasized, If you disagree with Zaid ibn Thabit regarding the Arabic style of the Quran, write it in the dialect of Quraysh, for the Quran was revealed in their tongue.
Sahih al-Bukhari 66:6 This directive ensured that the Qur'an was accurately represented in the dialect in which it was originally revealed, maintaining its linguistic integrity.
