Assalamu 'ala man itaba'a Al-Houda,
how unfortunate that despite all these posting, there was no answer to my question.

So Al-Muthanna, you can't say anything on your own? You just come, post something from somewhere and go?

Dude, I wrote this paragraph. Got it? I doubt it.
There is no need for elaboration assuming your IQ exceeds 50.
But let me repeat it for you in extremely simple terms:
Rafida claims:
- Only Aimmah understand Quraan.
- Authenticity of Statements of the Aimmah determined by Quraan comparison.
Problem:
You can't determine the authenticity based on something which only those people understand whose statements you want to authenticate.
---> INFINITE LOOP.

we believe the Quran was transmitted, amongst others, by Hazrat Ali, and a number of our masoom Imaams. A number of such copies exist, and I've cited that before. Please search 'museums and quran' in this forum. When they came to Hazrat Ali's home, and demanded baiyat, he told them he wouldnt come out until he compiled the Quran completely.
[/QUOTE]
Nope, that's not true.
the Shiite encyclopedia says:
"After he compiled this transcript, Imam Ali (AS) took it and presented it to the rulers who came after the Holy Prophet, and said: "Here is the book of Allah, your Lord, in the order that was revealed to your Prophet." but they did not accept it and replied: "We have no need of this. We have with us what you possess." Thereupon, Imam Ali (AS) took the transcript back and informed them that they will NEVER see it again."
So if you believe this alleged compilation exists (meaning we have access to it), then you are declaring Ali (ra) according to this statement to be a liar since he promised they won't see it again.
Moreover you believe the Quraanic verses in our compilation is out of order, so if you claim that this compilation is not the one of the noble Sahabah whom you consider to be Kuffar, Munafiqeen, Liars, Murderers, Rapers and so on but that it is rather Ali's compilation, well, then you are accusing Ali (ra) of changing the right order of the verses. You choose.
Needless to say that we don't believe in these fairy tales, yet you do.

[Shakir 15:9] Surely We have revealed the Reminder and We will most surely be its guardian. So if you think that a human has a power to alter the quran and can go against Allah (swt) then keep posting the **** like above and keep denying Allah (swt).
[/QUOTE]
I agree with you. So if someone believes anybody has the power to alter the Quraan, then he is denying Allah (swt) and thus he is a Kaffir. Right?
Finally, the Ahadeeth you posted all refer to the abrogation of recitation which your own scholars confirmed. So please get some knowlege about the different rules of abrogation.
Anyway, this thread is not discussing Sunni sources. I have a simple challenge for you, namely to solve above mentioned Infinite Loop. Please stick to the topic or openly declare your failure. AFTER THAT you are free to ask any questions concerning our sources. Anything else would be considered a vain attempt to distract from the main topic.
wa salamu 'ala man itaba'a Al-Houda
