Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, it was mentioned to us that Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) united the Ummah on a single script, even though we hear of the recitations of Warsh and Hafs and others.

Answer:
They are all on a single script, the recitations of Warsh and Hafs and the others; they did not differ on that.
