Abstract
The incorruptibility of the Qur'an is one of the common beliefs of the commentators of different Islamic sects and one of the common bases of interpretation of the Qur'an. However, the analysis and opinions of some commentators in the phenomenon of abrogation have become the basis for the doubts of some orientalists about the incorruptibility of the Quran. Believing in the rejection of recitation or recitation and ruling together has a direct relationship with verbal distortion and causes damage to the authenticity and validity of the Qur'an. Shenqiti (1393) in the commentary of "Azwa-al-Bayan" despite believing in the immunity of the Quran from distortion, citing weak hadiths and reports of Ahad, believes that there is abrogation of recitation as well as abrogation of recitation and ruling. The present article, with the aim of analyzing the view of Shenqaiti, came to the conclusion that the belief in the abrogation of recitation, the belief in the abrogation of the Qur'an is a part of the Qur'an and it is one of the clear examples of distortion. And with intellectual, narrative and historical caveats, including the conflict with his accepted basis in the infallibility of the Quran and the verses indicating its incorruptibility, and it is incompatible with the way of Muslims in general, memorizing and writing the Quran. In addition to the fact that the news of Vahad in the field of reciting is not valid, it does not have the strength to deal with the text of the Qur'an.
