Abstract :

Abstract Two hadiths are mentioned in sermons 17 and 147 of Nahj al-Balagha, which attribute "distortion" to the "Book of Allah" according to the words of the Amir of the Faithful (AS). Due to the importance of the issue, it is necessary to examine them in terms of content and brokerage. The main question is what is meant by "distortion" and what is meant by "book" in these narrations? This research was done in a descriptive-analytical way and using library sources, and its purpose is to examine the meaning and text of the said narrations. The results obtained from it make it clear that the content of Hazrat's Mushaf (PBUH) is of a revelation nature and includes interpretation and interpretation, that is, in addition to Quranic revelation, verbal revelation was also recorded in the margin of Hazrat's Mushaf. Amir Mominan (a.s.) called that collection the word "Book of Allah". Therefore, the word "book" is the same as the word "Qur'an" and the relationship between the book and the Qur'an is absolute. And the meaning of "distortion" is the removal of expressive revelation from the Book of Allah. By examining this hadith, the meaning of the word "book" in the hadith of Saqlain is also clarified.
