That needs a bit of thinking. I suggest we take some to think again about
the whole thing.

Mushaf Al-Haramain (from Al-Shamarly printing house, the very first to
print the Qur'an which gained a lot of respect from Hoffaaz that they
call it Omdaat Al-Masahef "The boss of Masaahef. If you must :-") has the
this written with a SmallAlef as a chair.

Attached is a screenshot from Mushaf Al-Haramain.

But my Mushaf doesn't have the SmallAlef.

Anyway, the most accurate and correct one (w.r.t Rasm Science) would be Mushaf
Al-Haramain.

The past tense verb of this word is درأ as can be found in the Moagam.
(Dal,Reh,Alef,HamzaAbove) which suggests that the Hamza is really on
a chair(Alef) not isolated.
That explains why the Hamza here has a SmallAlef as a chair.
The thing is that the chair of Hamza here is an Alef which got removed
from Rasm as you said and had been replaced by a SmallAlef (which proves
my point that SmallAlef is not a mark logically attached to the previous
letter and has nothing to do with it).

But why it's not there on my Mushaf? Maybe it's another alternative or maybe
it's a Rasm error in my Mushaf. I think we should see other Masahef and
consult a Rasm science scholar.
