Question
I have also heard from a Shia colleague that there is a Surah=Chapter in their book which is not in the Qurโan. can you explain and confirm this? The surah=chapter in their book called Surah Al Wilayah.
Answer
Praise be to Allah.
Regarding Surah al-Wilaayah, some of the Shiโa scholars and imams have stated that it exists. Any of them who denies that does so by way of taqiyah (dissimulation). One of those who clearly stated that it exists is Mirza Hussein Muhammad Taqiy al-Noori al-Tubrusi (d. 1320 AH).
He wrote a book in which he claimed that the Quโran had been distorted and that the Sahabah=Companions of the Prophet has concealed some parts of it, including Surah al-Wilaayah.
The Raafidis honoured him after his death by burying him in al-Najaf. This book by al-Tubrusi was published in Iran in 1298 AH, and when it was published there was a great deal of controversy because they wanted the doubts about the validity of the Qurโan, which were known only to their leaders, to remain scattered throughout hundreds of their major books, and they did not want that to be compiled in one book. At the beginning of his book, he said: ย
โThis is a good and noble book entitled Fasl al-khitaab fi ithbaat tahreef Kitaab Rabb il-Arbaab (Decisive comment on the distortion of the Book of the Lord of Lords).
He mentioned aayahs=verses and Surahs=Chapters which he claims that the Sahabah=Companions of the Prophet concealed, including โSurah al-Wilaayah,โโ the text of which, according to them, and as quoted in this book, is:
โO, you who believe, believe in the Prophet and the Wali [i.e., โAli] whom We have sent to guide you to the straight path, a Prophet and a Wali who are part of one another, and I am the All-Knowing, All-Aware.โ
And they have another Surah=Chapter which they call Surah al-Noorayn: โO you who believe, believe in the two lights (al-noorayn) which We have sent down to you to recite to you My Verses and to warn you of the punishment of a great Day. They are part of one another, and I am the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
Those who fulfil the covenant with Allah and His Messenger mentioned in the verses (of the Qurโan), the Gardens of delight will be theirs, but those who disbelieve after they believed by breaking their covenant and disobeying the command of the Prophet, they will be thrown into Hell. They have wronged themselves and gone against the wasiyyah of the Prophet (i.e., the appointment of โAli as khalifah), and they will be given to drink of boiling waterโฆโ and other such nonsense.

Prof. Muhammad โAli Saโoodi โ who was one of the greatest experts of the Ministry of Justice in Egypt โ examined an Iranian mus-haf kept by the Orientalist Bryan and he obtained a copy of this Surah=Chapter; above the lines of Arabic script there is written the translation in the Iranian language.
As it was mentioned by al-Tubrusi in his book, Fasl al-khitaab fi ithbaat tahreef Kitaab Rabb il-Arbaab, it is also mentioned in their book Dabastan Madhaahib, which is in Farsi, written by Muhsin Faani al-Kashmiri.
This book has been printed numerous times in Iran, and this false Surah=Chapter was quoted from it by the Orientalist Noeldeke in his book The History of Qurโanic Manuscripts, 2/120, and was published by the French Asian newspaper in 1842 (p. 431-439).
It was also mentioned by Mirza Habibullaah al-Haashimi al-Khoโi in his book Manhaaj al-Baraaโah fi Sharh Nahj al-Balaaghah (2/217); and by Muhammad Baaqir al-Majlisi in his book Tadhkirat al-Aโimmah (p. 19, 20) in Farsi, (published by) Manshoorat Mawlana, Iran.

This claim of theirs is a denial of the words of Allah (interpretation of the meaning):
โVerily, We, it is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e., the Qurโan) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption)โ
[al-Hijr 15:9]
Hence the Muslims are unanimously agreed that anyone who claims that anything in the Qurโรขn has been altered or changed is a kaafirs=non-Muslim.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said:
The same applies to those among them who claim that some verses of the Qurโan have been taken away or concealed, or who claim to have some esoteric interpretations that exempt him from having to do the actions prescribed in sharฤซโah etc., who are called al-Qaraamitah and al-Baatiniyyah, and who include al-Tanaasukhiyyah [names of esoteric sects]. There is no dispute that they are kaafirs=non-Muslims.
Al-Saarim al-Maslool, 3/1108-1110.
Ibn Hazm said:
The view that the Quโran has been altered is blatant kufr and is a rejection of what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said.
Al-Fasl fiโl-Ahwaโ waโ-Milal waโl-Nihal, 4/139.
Allah knows best.
