Alhuroof almuqatti’a or disjointed letters occurs at the beginning of some surahs. Had there been an absence of oral recitation from the Prophet ﷺ and his companions, these letters or their combinations could have been read a large number of ways in the early Qur’ans
...almost devoid of vowel marks and diacritics. These are not words with a meaning, they are just functional letters.
Example 1) الم
Occurs in 6 surahs.
All read as Alif. Lam. Meem. None read as alam. The same graphical form occurs in
الم تر...
الم نشرح...
All read as alam.

2. They did not originate because of defective script in the Qur’an manuscripts.
3. There must be an oral tradition restricting these readings.
4. Islamic traditions says precisely that.
