Now, even Mohammed could not remember what he was told by God and forgot it (those are his words as written in the Hadith) so I do not know how the powers in charge decided which was the correct version.

Why, they took out the bad parts! Which leaves one wondering how bad they must have had to be, considering what's left.

BTW, I believe it was the third caliph (whose name I used to remember simply because of this action) who had all the copies collected and burned, leaving what we have now.
