11k likes for such nonsense! Perhaps Muslims should tighten up their connection to the Qur'an to appreciate its actual linguistic beauty.
1. Only Hafs from 'Asim read it as ('alayhu), while the rest read it as ('alayhi), which does not make this some sort of mystery.

Rather, pronouncing the Dammah as Hafs did is the Asl in the language, thus it is kept as it is, while reading with kasra is the actual diversion from the Asl due to the letter being accompanied by the (Ya’) with sukun, and that is for facilitation.
2. The claim that this is the ONLY instance in the Qur'an where it occurs is incorrect, as Hafs once again read "ansānīhu" (18:63) in the same manner—without mentioning that it is common in other recitations, such as those from Hamza, who read ('alayhum, ilayhum, and ladayhum)
with Dam instead of kasr anytime they occur in the Qur'an.
3. I do not know why this has to be explained in a historical context! Both ways of reading are identical in meaning, and this linguistic variation in Hafs has zero impact on the meaning conveyed by the other reciters—

for it to even require explanation through context, let alone a "historical" one.
