Stages of discussion What does the word Tahrif mean? What are the derivatives of it within the Quran? If you were to read Bukhari and Muslim and other main works, is there a posibility of traditions which look at the fact the the Quran may have been distorted? When Noori, a shia scholar, wrote Faslul-khetab , was there a posibilty that he meant there were certain verses which are not present anymore? When you look at the ulmaa of the school of ahululbayt, are there any of our scholars like Sadouq, or Hilli, or Tousi, or even Ayatollah Khoei, who believed that Tahrif occurred? If they do, then what type of Tahrif? Did Tahrif occur in the the Tafsir of the Quran, and if it did, how did it seek to remove merits from certain personalities?
