Chapter 62 · Virtues and Merits of the Prophet (PBUH) and his Companionsنَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ بِلِسَانِ قُرَيْشٍ
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ، دَعَا زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ وَعَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ وَسَعِيدَ بْنَ الْعَاصِ وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ فَنَسَخُوهَا فِي الْمَصَاحِفِ، وَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ لِلرَّهْطِ الْقُرَشِيِّينَ الثَّلاَثَةِ إِذَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فِي شَىْءٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، فَاكْتُبُوهُ بِلِسَانِ قُرَيْشٍ، فَإِنَّمَا نَزَلَ بِلِسَانِهِمْ. فَفَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ.

The Qur'an was revealed in the language of Quraish
`Uthman رضی اللہ عنہ called Zaid bin Thabit, `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair, Sa`id bin Al-`As and `Abdur Rahman bin Al-Harith bin Hisham رضی اللہ عنہم , and then they wrote the manuscripts of the Holy Qur'an in the form of book in several copies. `Uthman رضی اللہ عنہ said to the three Quraishi persons. " If you differ with Zaid bin Thabit رضی اللہ عنہ on any point of the Qur'an, then write it in the language of Quraish, as the Qur'an was revealed in their language." So they acted accordingly. (Sa`id bin Thabit was an Ansari and not from Quraish ).
