Sunni reports about mistakes & changes in Quran 》 Ibn Abbas, Ibn Masud & Saeed bin Jubayr implying distortion in Quran by marking a ‘mistake’ in Surah Nur caused the Sunni Imams to become perturbed and frustrated We read in Quran:[Shakir 24:27] O you who believe! Do not enter houses other than your own houses until you have asked permission and saluted their inmates; this is better for you, that you may be mindful.27. YA AYYUHA ALLATHEENA AMANOO LA TADKHULOO BUYOOTAN GHAYRA BUYOOTIKUM HATTA TASTA/NISOO/WATUSALLIMOO AAALA AHLIHA THALIKUM KHAYRUN LAKUM LAAAALLAKUM TATHAKKAROONA usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/transliteration/024.html Now according to certain revered figures in Islam, all Muslims have faith in distorted and incorrect word in the above cited verse while the ‘actual’ and indeed ‘correct’ word has been done away with by a ‘mistake’ on the part of the scribe of Quran, raising serious concerns over the authenticity of the Holy Book. We are relying upon the following reliable books of Ahle Sunnah to substantiate our claim: -Tafseer Itqan, Volume 1 page 228 -Tafseer Dur al Manthur, Vol 5 page 38, Surah Nur verse 27 -Mustadrak al Hakim Vol 3 page 253 Hadith 3496 -Tafseer Tabari, Volume 18 page 146 -Tafseer Ruh Al-Ma’ani, Volume 18 page 133 -Tafseer Bahr al-Muheet, Volume 8 page 302 -Tafseer al-Kabeer, Volume 11 page 295 -Fatah al-Bari, Volume 11 page 8 -Tafseer Fatah al-Qadir, Volume 5 page 712 -Tafseer al-Lubab, Volume 14 pages 341-342 Imam Hakim records:حدثنا أبو علي الحافظ أنبأ عبدان الأهوازي ثنا عمرو بن محمد الناقد ثنا محمد بن يوسف ثنا سفيان عن شعبة عن جعفر بن إياس عن مجاهد عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما : في قوله تعالى : { لا تدخلوا بيوتا غير بيوتكم حتى تستأنسوا } قال : أخطأ الكاتب حتى تستأذنوا Narrated Mujahid:Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say about the statement of Allah ‘{ LA TADKHULOO BUYOOTAN GHAYRA BUYOOTIKUM HATTA TASTA/NISOO }’ It is a mistake by the scribe’ (actually its) TASTAZINO’ Not only this but Sunni scholars have even attested to the authenticity of such an audacious claim, as stated by Imam Hakim:هذا حديث صحيح على شرط الشيخين و لم يخرجاه “This Hadith is (Sahih) as per the conditions of the two Shaykhs although they have not recorded it” On the top of it, Imam Dhahabi stated:على شرط البخاري ومسلم “Its on the condition of Bukhari and Muslim” Mustadrak al Hakim, Vol 3 page 253 Hadith 3496 Imam Ibn Hajar Asqalani is also among such Sunni scholars who attested to the authenticity of this statement:اخرج سعيد بن منصور والطبري والبيهقي في الشعب بسند صحيح أن ابن عباس كان يقرأ حتى تستأذنوا ويقول أخطأ الكاتب Sa’id ibn Mansur, al-Tabari and al-Bayhaqi in al-Shi’b have narrated through a Sahih chain that Ibn Abbas used to recite “HATTA TASTAZINO’” and used to say: ‘The scribe made a mistake’. We read the same testimony of the Sahabi Ibn Abbas in Tafseer Tabari through another authentic chain of narration:حدثنا ابن بشار قال ثنا محمد بن جعفر قال ثنا شعبة عن أبي بشر عن سعيد بن جبير عن ابن عباس في هذه الآية { لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتًا غَيْرَ بُيُوتِكُمْ حَتَّى تَسْتَأْنِسُوا وَتُسَلِّمُوا عَلَى أَهْلِهَا } وقال إنما هي من خطأ الكاتب { حتى تستأذوا وتسلموا } Ibn Bashar narrated from Muhammad bin Jaffar from Shu’aba from Abi Bashir from Saeed bin Jubair from Ibn Abbas about this verse ‘{O you who believe! Do not enter houses other than your own houses until you have asked permission (TASTA/NISOO) and saluted their inmates}’ . He said: ‘It is a mistake by the scribe. ‘{ until you have asked permission (TASTAZINO) and saluted their inmates}’ . According to Imam Ibn Hajar Asqalani’s Taqrib al-Tahdib, Muhammad bin Bashar, Muhammad bin Jaffar al-Hadali and Shu’aba are ‘Thiqah’ while Abu Bashr Bayan bin Bashr and Saeed bin Jubair are ‘Thiqah Thabt’. Moreover we read a similar testimony by one of the revered Tabayeen namely Saeed bin Jubair:حدثنا ابن المثنى قال ثنا وهب بن جرير قال ثنا شعبة عن أبي بشير عن سعيد بن جبير بمثله غير أنه قال : إنما هي { حتى تستأذنوا } ولكنها سقط من الكاتب. Ibn al-Muthana narrated from Wahab bin Jarir from Shu’aba from Abi Bashir from Saeed bin Jubair the same but he added: ‘It is supposed to be ‘{until you have asked permission (TASTAZINO)}’ but it was a mistake of the scribe‘ According to Imam Ibn Hajar Asqalani’s Taqrib al-Tahdib, Wahab bin Jarir and Shu’aba are ‘Thiqah’ while Muhammad bin al-Muthana, Abu Bashr Bayan bin Bashr and Saeed bin Jubair are ‘Thiqah Thabt’. Qadhi Shokani in Tafseer Fatah al-Qadir very proudly enlists some of the Sunni scholars who have recorded such an audacious statement implying Tahrif in Quran: “Faryabi, Saeed bin Mansur, Abd bin Hameed, Ibn Jarir, Ibn Manzar, Ibn Abi Hatim, Ibn Anbar in Masahif, Ibn Mundah in Gharab Sho’ba, Hakim who authenticated it, Ibn Mardawiya[, Bayhaqi in sho’aib and Diya in Mukhtara from Ibn Abbas who said regarding the verse that it is a mistake by the scribe.” Similar statements have been narrated by Abdullah Ibn Masud and Ubai bin Ka’ab in different Sunni commentaries cited above. ،· According to Sahabi Ibn Masud clear Tahreef has been committed in Surah Zukhraf The 45th verse of Surah Zukhraf is in the following mannerواسأل من أرسلنا من قبلك من رسلنا أجعلنا من دون الرحمن آلهة يعبدون[Shakir 43:45] And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before you: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Beneficent Allah? In order to show the different wordings of this verse recited by the famed companion Abdullah Ibn Masud, we shall rely on the following Sunni books. -Tafseer Qurtubi, Volume 16 page 95 -Tafseer Dur al Manthur, Volume page 382, Surah Zukhruf verse 45 -Tafseer Ibn Kathir (Urdu), Vol 5 page 35 Surah Zukhruf verse 45 We read in Tafseer Ibn Kathir:قال مجاهد في قراءة عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه واسأل الذين أرسلنا إليهم قبلك رسلنا Abdullah bin Masud recited it as:“And ask those whom We sent before you of Our Messengers” Tafseer Ibn Kathir [Arabic] Tafseer Ibn Kathir (Urdu), Vol 5 Parah 25 Page 35 (Farid Book Depot Dehli) Now apart from this version of the verse recited by Ibn Masud, Imam Jalaluddin Suyuti has recorded yet another version of this verse recited by Ibn Masud which again is not the one we read today.“في قراءة ابن مسعود “واسأل الذين يقرأون الكتاب من قبل In Ibn Masud’s recitation: ‘And ask those who read the book before you’ Tafseer Dur al Manthur, Volume 7 page 382 ،· Introducing the Sunni Quran with 40 Juz/Parts We have relied on the following authentic books of Ahle Sunnah -Fatah al Bari, Volume 9 page 95 by Ibn Hajar Asqalani -Umdatul Qari, Volume 9 page 345 by Badruddin Aini -Irshad al Saari, Volume 7 page 482 by Shahabuddin Qastalani We read in Fatah al Bari that:قال أقل ما يجزئ من القراءة في كل يوم وليلة جزء من أربعين جزءا من القرآن “The least that is enough of reading Quran is to read every day and night one Juz amongst the 40 Juza of Quran” Fatah al Bari, Kitab Fadail al Quran, vol 9 page 95 ،· The testimony of Imam Malik that most of Surah Bar’at has been lost along with ‘Bismillah’ We have relied on the following esteemed books of Ahle Sunnah to prove this: -Tafseer Fath al Qadeer, Volume 2 page 317, Surah Bara`t -Tafseer Qurtubi, Volume 8 page 62, Surah Bara`t -Al-Itqan, Volume 1 page 81Tafseer Dur al Manthur, Volume 3 page 208, Surah Bara’t Al Muhazraat, Volume 2 page 434 We read in Fath al Qadeer: “When the first part of Surah Bar’at was lost, Imam Malik said that ‘Bismillah’ was also lost along with it” We read in Tafseer Qurtubi: “Malik said among what had been narrated by Ibn Wahb and Ibn Al Qasim and Ibn Abdul Hakam is that when the first part of Surat Bara’at was lost, ‘Bismillah Al Rahman Al Raheem’ was also lost along with it. It has also been narrated from Ibn Ajlan that he heard that Surat Bara’at was equal to the length of Surat Al Baqarah or approximately equal to it, so the part was gone and because of that “Bismillah Al Rahman Al Raheem” wasn’t written between them (between the lost and the remaining part) .” ،·The testimony of Sahabi Hudaifah that only one fourth of Surah Bar’at remains Allamah Jalaludin Suyuti whilst quoting scholars like Tabrani, Hakim and Ibn Shebah writes:عن حذيفة رضي الله عنه قال : التي تسمون سورة التوبة هي سورة العذاب والله ما تركت أحدا إلا نالت منه ولا تقرأون منها مما كنا نقرأ إلا ربعها “Huzaifah narrated that the Surah which you call Taubah is actually Surah ‘Azaab [wrath] and you just recite one fourth of what we used to recite.” Tafseer Dur al Manthur, Volume 3 page 208 Allamah Jalaluddin Suyuti has very confidently recorded the traditions mentioning that Surah Bar`at was equal to Surah Baqarah in length. At present Surah Baqarah contains 286 verses whilst Surah Bar`at contains 129 verses. If Surah Bar`at was really equal to the length of Surah Barqah that would mean approximately 157 verses have been lost from Surah Ba’rat. If believing in Quranic distortion is Kufr then many prominent scholars of Uthmani madhab are clear-cut infidels and Imam Malik and Allamah Suyuti would head that list. ،· The companions did not believe in the completeness of the Quran as they attested to numerous verses being lost from Surah Ahzab The testimony of the companion Ubai bin Ka’b We read in Tafseer Dur al Manthur: “Ubai bin Ka’ab inquired of someone: ‘How many verses were there in the chapter of al-Ahzab?’ He replied, ’72 or 73 verses.’ Ubai bin Ka’b then said: ‘I had seen this Surah more or equal to Surah Baqarah” Tafseer Dur al Manthur, vol 6 page 558 The testimony of Umar We also read in Tafseer Dur al Manthur: “Ibn Mardawayh narrated from Huzaifah that Umar said that Surah Ahzab was equal to Surah Baqrah (in length)” Ayesha clearly believed in the incompleteness of Quran We read in Tafseer Ruh al Mani: “Ayesha narrates: “During the life of the the Prophet (s), Surah Ahzab was read with 200 verses, when Uthman collected the verses, he could get along with more verses than this.” We also read in Tafseer Qurtubi: “Ayesha narrates: ‘Surah Ahzab contained 200 verses during the lifetime of Prophet (s) but when the Quran was collected we only found the amount that can be found in the present Quran”. This tragedy happened due to Uthman but it seems that the author of this tafseer lacked sufficient courage to cite his name. We also read in Dur al-Manthur: “Ayesha narrated that during the lifetime of the Holy Prophet (s) 200 verses were recited in Surah Ahzab but when Uthman collected the Mushaf, he only succeeded in locating the present number of verses” Online Tafsir Dur al Manthoor, Surah Ahzab, vol 6 page 560 And many more proofs are there to show the real sunni belief about tahreef in quran
