For reviewing and studying of the text of Quran and proving that this text has come to us from the prophet (pbuh), Muslim scholars are offered various reasonsthat some of these reasons need to review, modify and clarify. One of these reasons is the idea of the frequency of the text of Quran that it has not been explained well.Researchers and scholars disagreeon this issue and sometimes they are opposed to each other, while the frequency of the text is one of the most basic reasons for the historical proof and the authenticity of the Qur'an to prove the historicity and the authenticity of the Qur'an.In this article, we have been investigated the twomainchallenges relatet to Quran namely the opposition of some companions with Osmanworkinunityof codices and the differenceinthe readingsby definingthe frequency ofthe Quran.According to the authors,these two issues can not damage the subject of frequent of the Quran.According to this, for provingthe frequency ofthe Quran, there is no need to recoursetoreasons likea consensus among scholars, invalid hadithes, the piety and similar cases that are usedby scholars forcompatibilitybetween these twocategorie.

Abstract The issue of the finalization of Quran’s text in the past few decades, from the viewpoint of western Quran scholars known as revisionists, has been criticized. This group, with John Wensbrough as their head, the author of Quran Studies, and his students, have skeptically reviewed all the documents and sources of Muslims that are used in the finalization of the text of Quran. One of these sources is the Islamic narratives which, in the eyes of traditional orientalists such as Noldke and Shwaly, are historical documents with a pivotal role in solving this issue. On the other side, proponents of revision consider these narratives invalid and have created a challenge in the path of Islamic sources, the most important of them being the Quran. In recent years, some western Islam scholars, with their pioneer being Harold Mutsky, have regarded these narratives as valid historical documents by criticizing the viewpoint of revisionists. Harold Mutsky, by criticizing the views of his predecessors and contemporaries, by dating the narratives and collecting and codifying the Quran, has determined the finalization of Quran’s text to be the third quarter of the first century, which shows the finalization of Quran to be after the passing of the Prophet (pbuh). In this paper, in addition to describing his method his dating and codifying the Quran, we have complemented the results of these narratives in finalization of Quran’s text. Afterwards, by considering other narrative evidences, the results of dating during the third quarter of the first century has been reinforced.
