the first thing is that this devbandi donkey has no clue of about the rasm - the inscription/writing - of the qur'an.
----
firstly, RasulAllah sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam did not command everything to be written down - and the entire mus'haf as we see in our time was not compiled in the form of a book in the time of RasulAllah sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam; of course, many portions were written down, but there was no standardised method (see #3 for some more detail).
2. it is clear from the sahih hadith that sayyiduna abu bakr raDi'Allahu anhu resisted compilation in a book, because he did not wish to do something the Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam did not explicitly command them to do. however, upon insistence of sayyiduna umar raDi'Allahu anhu and the tragic circumstances that he witnessed, he consented to have it compiled in ONE book.
3. there was no specific writing convention: words like قيمة * إنسن / قيامة إنسان ; are they written with doubled-alif on ya (qi
yaamah) & seen (in
saan) with an explicit alif added, or understood as in the rest of the vowels?
4. the qur'an was revealed in multiple qira'ah - and those sahabah who received the specific qira'ah wrote it down according to that qira'ah.
5. prominent saHabah had their own compilations according to their own notes. but there was no difference in the recited qur'an.
6.
FACT: until the time of sayyiduna uthman raDi'Allahu anhu, which is 23 AH - the qur'an was mostly oral tradition, with personal copies.
7. sayyiduna uthman raDi'Allahu anhu, with the approval of prominent sahabah, including mawla ali karramAllahu wajhah standardised the script to accommodate multiple readings.
thus the script: ملك يوم الدين - can be recited as maaliki (مالك) or (ملك) maliki; accomodates both recitations.
the dunderhead, the blasted idiot does not know that these idiosyncrasies of the script, are due to the decisions made by sahabah two decades after the passing of the Messenger of Allah sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam.
this devbandi's ignorance is at the level of those who splash cow-dung on their bodies and drink cow-urine and therefore assumes that the script was finalised in the Prophet's time! sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam.

now, about the example the jahil cited as a "mistake".
---
abu Hayyan al-andalusi is a famous mufassir and a towering grammarian; among his students in grammar are the likes of ibn hisham al-ansari, imam taqiyuddin al-subki and sirajuddin bulqini. in his tafsir of this aayah he notes:
===
majority recited it with the nun khafifah [i.e. without shaddah]* but it was written with an alif, anticipating how it would read when stopped; because if one stops at this word, it would be transformed with an alif, so much that it became the ending letter (rawiy). this is similar to the examples below.
[aH: *it is also recited with shaddah as: la-nas'fa'anna]
...
[aH: the second example is apt for the jaahil devbandi]
bi-Hasbihi'l jahilu maa lam ya'lam / was transformed as: "maa lam ya'lamaa"
it is sufficient [wretchedness/great loss] for the ignoramus what he doesn't know.
[i.e., the lack of knowledge of the ignoramus is in itself an enormous misfortune]
=====
the general rule of stopping in arabic is that it should be graceful and not blunt; letters are added or elided to make this happen.
ibn ashur in the tafsir of the same ayah says:
in the mus'Haf it is written with alif, in consideration of recitation in the case of stopping [waqf] - because the last letters of words are written in a manner that facilitates recitation in cases of stopping.
=====
only the devbandi donkey of the 15th century has the temerity to say that it is a grammar mistake. all those native arabs and towering grammarians didn't know - but this jahil knows better than all of them!
