The adherence of a reading to the Accepted Uthmanic Text (Rasm al-Mushaf) is one of the important criteria in accepting the reading. This Criterion which promulgated after Uthmanic collection of the Quran for the purpose of excluding some companions’ Readings, has had a lot of changes in later times. Criterion of Rasm was at first used to represent the adherence of a reading to the written text generally, but in later times it was examined in more detail. In addition, there had been some Readers who payed less attention to the written text of the Quran which led to serious conflictions in some cases like Ibn Shanabudh’s case. In general, the criterion of adherence to Rasm al-Mushaf has had five important historical stages as the following: 1- starting to pay attention to the written text of the Quran as a criterion; 2- promulgation of the discourse of Rasm al-Mushaf; 3- widespread use of Rasm al- Mushaf in reasonings; 4- stabilization of Rasm al-Mushaf criterion 5- final revising of Rasm al-Mushaf criterion.
