Al-Muṣḥaf al-ʿUthmānī (Arabic: المصحف العثماني) is a manuscript of the Qur'an, which was compiled at the command of Uthman b. Affan. It was called al-Mushaf al-Uthmani, or sometimes Mushaf al-Imam. The reason for the compilation of the mushaf was the existence of a variety of Quranic manuscripts among Muslims and disputes over them. After the compilation of al-Mushaf al-Uthmani, other mushafs or manuscripts were destroyed at the command of Uthman. On the majority view, compilers of al-Mushaf al-Uthmani were four people: Zayd b. Thabit, Abd Allah b. Zubayr, Sa'id b. 'As, and Abd al-Rahman b. Harith.
