One companion, [[Abdullah ibn Masud]] the renowned [[Tafsir|mufassir]] of the Quran is said to have believed that verse [https://tanzil.net/#3:33 3:33] of the Quran was recited as:
 
“God selected Adam and Noah, Abraham´s household, Imran´s household, and Muhammad´s household over the worlds”.<ref>[https://www.scribd.com/document/45879709/Early-Debates-on-the-Integrity-of-the-Quran-by-Dr-Hossein-Modarressi Hossein Modarressi, Studia Islamica, No. 77.,Early Debates on the Integrity of the Quran,1993,Page 31]</ref><ref>[https://archive.org/details/Al-bahrAl-muhit/Bahr-muhit-dra-01/ Abu Hayan al-Gharanti|Al-Bahr Al-Muhit]</ref>
 
Other companions such as [[Umar]], [[Ibn Abbas]], [[Abu Musa al-Ash'ari]], and [[Ubayy ibn Ka'b]] are said to have recalled that two small surahs were not present in the [[History of the Quran|legitimized copy]] but in some of their own [[Mus'haf|Mus'hafs]] by the name of Al Hafd and Al Khal.<ref>[https://www.scribd.com/document/45879709/Early-Debates-on-the-Integrity-of-the-Quran-by-Dr-Hossein-Modarressi Hossein Modarressi, Studia Islamica, No. 77.,Early Debates on the Integrity of the Quran,1993,Page 13]</ref><ref>[https://archive.org/details/AlItqanFiUloomIlQuran/Al%20Itqan%20Fi%20Ulum%20Al%20Quran%20English/page/n1/mode/2up Al-Itqan fi Ulum al-Qur’an,Jalaluddin Suyuti,Muneer Fareed]</ref>
 
This can be explained by the existence of multiple Ahruf of the Quran which were even cited within early Sunni Usul literature.
