Anyone who uses Uthman’s Quran as a factual historical reference (for identifying time/date/place/sequence/etc) can be sold the Brooklyn Bridge, or a thousand acres of Louisiana swampland, at a VERY profitable price.
One example. Sura Alaq, the chronologically first, where Mohammad is told to recite. The first half is authentic. The second half was moved into Alaq from a later source (or possibly fraudulently created) by Uthman’s clerks. This appears all the way through the Umar/Uthman “official” edition.
Want another facet? It’s known from Muslim sources that Umar and Uthman forbade the inclusion of any material possessed by Ali – who just so happened to be the religion/theology expert among the Companions. There’ve been rumors of an “Ali’s Quran”. I’d very much like to be a fly on the wall in the Dar al Makhtutat in Sana’a, Yemen (the House of Manuscripts, new-built right next to the Al-Jami’ al-Kabir.) I’d love to know what-all has been found in the roof of the Great Mosque.
