In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

The truth prevails, even between the lines of false doctrine. God gives us mathematical and historical evidence that two verses, 9:128-129, were added to the Quran after the death of Prophet Muhammad.

We reproduce here two relevant statements from the classic reference AL-ITQAAN by Al-Suyooty, (AL-Azhareyah Edition, Cairo, 1318 AH, Vol 1). On page 28, we see that the first attempt to add the false verses occurred immediately after the Prophet’s death. This is confirmed on page 59.

We read on page 28: "... Abdullah Ibn Ahmad narrated the MUSNAD and IBN MARDAWAIH that Ubayy Ibn Ka’ab stated that the Quran was compiled during the reign of Abu Bakr, and when the scribes reached Verse 9:127: `…then they left, with their hearts diverted by God. For they were people who did not comprehend,' the scribes decided that that was the last of the revelation. But Ubayy told them that he had two more verses, 9:128 & 129, and that they were the last verses revealed in Medina."

On Page 59, we read that Ali imposed a house arrest upon himself when Abu Bakr was installed. Abu Bakr asked Ali if he objected to his appointment. Ali said replied that "something has been added to the Quran," and he had pledged "never to dress up except for the prayers, until the Quran is restored."

Thus, the first attempt to add the false verses occurred immediately after the Prophet’s death. Abu Bakr, Omar, and Ali defeated that attempt.

[Quran 9:127] Whenever a sura was revealed, some of them would look at each other as if to say: "Does anyone see you?" Then they left. Thus, GOD has diverted their hearts, for they are people who do not comprehend.
