    According to orality theory people in oral societies don’t memorize word for word only when writing becomes more developed the orality becomes fixed because it is bound to the text because people memorising without checking a text is terrible, how can we believe that thousands of people from the time of the prophet all recited qirat al ammah without any variation? isn’t it more likely that there was flexibility in how you could recite?

    Quran was not an ordinary book for Muslims. It was the word of God for them, in which they did not allow any mistake or alteration to stand. They were as sensitive in this regard as we are now. If someone made a mistake, ther other corrected it. The same as we do now. The Quran was also available in written form from the very beginning.
