Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Mushaf Fatimah (a.s) Mushaf Fatimah and the Mushaf of the Similarities of the Mushafs (of Fatimah and those of the ) The similarity of Mushaf Fatimah with those that the Ahl al-Sunnah count (amongst their corpus)—such as those of A'ishah, Hafsah, and 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud—is in name only.

The similarity is in name only because their Mushaf s are replete with Quranic verses and additional material where as Mushaf Fatimah does not contain a single verse of Quran. Its name Mushaf is only in reference to it being a bound book.

It is only by way of ignorance and self-serving interests that the Shi'ah have been libelously accused of distorting the Quran.[^1] Their libel is based on the hadith in which Imam al-Sadiq(a.s) says that Mushaf Fatimah is “three times larger than the Quran.” However, he continues to say, “by Allah, there is not a single word from the Quran in it.” The libel of corruption aimed towards the Shia is curious given that in the Sunni Mushaf s there are verses of the Quran omitted and other (verses) that have extra words!

Mushaf A'ishah There is a narration in the Sunni books which says, “The Quran in A'ishah's possession contained deficiencies not presently found (in the Quran that all Muslims universally agree is authentic and free of errors of omission or commission).

For example, after 'Truly Allah and the angels send their blessings unto the prophet,”(33:54) was added, 'and those who pray in the first row[^2] (of communal prayer).'”[^3] (In another hadith it says) “After 'Guard strictly your (habit of) prayers, especially the middle prayer'(2:238) she had, 'and the late afternoon prayer.'”[^4] This same matter appears in Hafsah's and Umm Salaamah's Mushaf s. We will refrain from mentioning other examples.

Mushaf 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud As recorded by the Sunnis, as per their own authentic sources, and according to Suyuti's interpretation, it says that Ibn Mas'ud believed tat surahs al-Falaq (113:1-5) and al-Naass (114:1-5) were not part of the Quran because it is a supplication ( du'a ). What's more amazing is that he thought the same of al-Fatihah (1:1-7).

Because of this, Uthmaan[^5] burned his Mushaf .[^6] Mushaf Ubai bin K'ab In place of ” lilaldheen yu'lun ” [Ubai] would recite, “lilldheen yaqsimun”, and instead of “falaa jannaaH 'alahi inn yaTuf bihuma” he would recite, “illa yaTuf bihuma”, etc.[^7] In the Sunni resources it has been said that some of the canonical verses are deficient.
