A couple of copies of the Qur'an that Uthman sent to various governors have survived. Orientalists have checked these books thoroughly and were unable to discredit the Qur'an. The only difference between those copies and current copies is that the Arabic script of those days did not have the vowels (above or below the letters) or the dots. Those were introduced later mainly for the benefit of non-Arabic speakers.
