It is not necessary that the narrator who states a naration accepts its purport as it is stated in different branches of sciences. This is only a mere sammurized idea about the distortion of the Holy Book and shi’ites attitude towards that, it is very plain, we have many evidences stating that shi’ites don’t say that Quran is distorted, rather those who maintain distortion in Quran in the meaning of addition or dimination other than shi’ites.

As for distortion in the meaning of altering the meaning of words, verses, and the reasons of revealation, shi’ites have a frank viewpiont in this concern, they say that distortion in this meaning has taken place by many narrators and explainers for unhidden motives.

We, after that, return to the viewpoint of a group of Ahlulsuneh who say that there is a decrease in Quran (according to their resources): It is strange that those who say that there are diminutions in Quran are Ahlilsunneh their views are frank about the decrease in the Quran which is circulated among moslems to day disregarding whether they consider the corollaries of this view or not – they got as in the habit of adopting the view without complying with its corollaries, here is not the place of proving that, it has another place and research, we may deal with it in another occasion, I say that their views about that are frank but they charge others with it as we shall see in the coming examples.

Let as review some of their views concerning their professing distortion in Quran, these are merely examples as to that who wants more details we shall refer to some of their resources: 1 – Al-sayoti stated in his book “Aletkhan Fi U’lum el Quran” in the chapter dealing with the numbers of surahs, words, and letters of Quran some narrations cited from the Caliph Au’mer Ibn el Khattab as saying “the letters of Quran are a thoausand thoausands and twenty seven thousands letters.

And Al-Tabarani stated that in a confident title with reference to Umar bin Al-khattab. 2 – The Author of “kenzelu’maal” narrated, from Zer Ibn Hubbeish” as saying: Aubei said to me: “O, Zer how do you read “Suretel Ahzaab” I replied 73 verses, he said: it has been equal to “Suret el Bakarah” or it had been longer than it.
