[Machine] "He gathered the people of Sham and the people of Iraq for the invasion of Azerbaijan and Armenia, and they started studying the Quran. They disagreed on it to the point that fighting almost broke out among them. Huzaifah ibn al-Yaman rode his horse when he saw their disagreement in the Quran, and he went to Uthman ibn Affan and said, 'People have disagreed on the Quran to an extent that I fear they will suffer the same fate as the Jews and Christians due to their disagreements.' Uthman was greatly alarmed by this, and he sent a message to Hafsah, who retrieved the scriptures that Abu Bakr had ordered Zaid to gather. Uthman then compiled the copies of the Quran from these scriptures and sent them to different regions. Later, when Marwan became the ruler of Medina, he asked Hafsah about the scriptures, intending to destroy them because he feared that there might be discrepancies among the common people. However, I prevented him from doing so." Ibn Shihab said, "Salim ibn Abdullah narrated to me that when Hafsah passed away, Uthman sent Abdullah ibn Umar with a letter, asking for the return of the scriptures. When they returned from Hafsah's funeral, Ibn Umar sent a message to Marwan, who burned the scriptures out of fear that there might be discrepancies, as Uthman had previously abrogated them."
