The issue of the absence of distortion of the Quran has reached a point of consensus among Shia and Sunni scholars, and the claim of distortion has been raised only by a small and unreliable minority. Shia elders, including Sheikh Saduq, Sheikh Mufid, Sayyid Murtaza, Sheikh Tusi, and Allama Tabarsi, have explicitly emphasized the authenticity and soundness of the Quran. Sheikh Saduq considers the existing Quran to be complete and without flaws, and Sheikh Mufid has described the narrations indicating distortion as isolated and unreliable news.(1) Sayyid Murtaza has also rejected any claim of distortion, citing the repetition of the Quran and the relentless efforts of Muslims to preserve it.(2) Sheikh Tusi and Allama Tabarsi also emphasize that the correct Imamiyyah doctrine is based on the denial of any change or deficiency in the Quran.(3) Other Shiite scholars such as Allama Hilli, Mohaqiq Ardabili, Kashif Al-Ghita, Mohaqiq Thani, as well as the great men of the time, Hazrat Ustad Allama Tabataba'i, Imam Khomeini (Quds Al-Sirrah), and Ayatollah Khu'i have explicitly rejected the claim of distortion, whether excessive or deficient. The clear views of these scholars throughout the history of Shiism reject any attribution of distortion to the Quran by the Shiites.(4)
