  In the books of Quranic sciences, we see numerous and sometimes contradictory materials about the role of Hajjāj ibn Yūsuf in the recognition of the current text of the Holy Qurʾan. Ḥajjāj's character and especially Sajestāni's narrative of his eleven changes have become an excuse to doubt the authenticity of the Qur’an. In this article, we collected, criticized and analyzed the sayings of Muslim scholars and orientalists with descriptive-analytical method and analyzed what Ḥajjāj did in relation to the Qurʾan and what was his motivation for this work. According to this research, Sajestāani's narrative is acceptable by providing explanations and does not contradict the validity of the Qurʾan. The main work of Ḥajjāj has been promoting the ʿUttomān Muṣḥaf and completing the project of Tawḥīd Muṣaḥaf and eliminating incorrect recitations, especially the recitations of ibn Masʿūd. A goal that Ḥajjāj, like ʿUthmān, could not fully achieve. His motivation was also the love of ʿUthmān and the hatred of the Qariyans and Mawālī for appearing in the war of ibn Ashʿath; A war that was about to destroy not only Ḥajjāj and Banī Umayyad but also the Islamic Caliphate forever.
