In the Sunnite Hadith Compilations, there are same reports about the $urahs of
Ahzab, Muawwizatayn and Qunut. These reports daim that the Surah of Ahzab was in
fad as lengthy as the Surah of al-Baqara, that the Muawwizatayn did not exist in the
Copy of ıbn Mas'ud, that the two Qunuts existed as the Chapters of the Qur'an in the
eapy of Ubay. Relying on such reports, it has been claimed that there occured distortion
on the Qur'an.
However, none of these reports include the words of the Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH) who is the only authority in this issue. it is through the concensus of the
Prophet's campanians which came down to us by tawatur that something is part of the
Qur'an or not. All of the reports on this issue are exclusively al·khabar al·wahid. The
problem is not more than the misunderstanding of same companions stemming from the
fad that the Prophet recited the Muawwizatayn to shield his grandsons against the evil
of Satan and that the Qunuts were recited as prayer though they were not in fad
chapters of the Qur'an. The claim voiced by some Shi'ites that there existed a Surah
called "Noorayn" in the Qur'an was alsa rejeded by the majority of the Shi'ites. As the
text of a typical Shi'ite propaganda, this apocryphal Surah is not conSidered by Nöldeke
and Schwally to be an authentic Qur'anic chapterı either.
