concerning the last verse being found in the memory of only a single man; Abi Khuzaima Al-Ansari?
[\QUOTE]
the aya you mean was already written in the first musshaf of the first caliph, and many muslims were saving it in their memory.
but the constraint that it should be (heard directly from the mouth of the messenger (peace be upon him) restricted the people accepted as witnesses that are residents of al-madina. this is a result of the great care that muslims devoted to the confidentiality of the copying process.
