Tahrif in Surah Baqarah, verse 59. Shia report


Bismillah wa salatu wa salamu ala rasullah.

Allah said in the Quran:

But those who were unjust changed it for a saying other than that which had been spoken to them, so We sent upon those who were unjust a pestilence from heaven, because they transgressed.

Shaykh allama of shias, Al-Istarabadi narrated in his book “Taweel ayatu zaheer” (1/63) his own version of this verse:

Translation:

From Abu Jafar (alaihi salam): Jibril descended upon Muhammad (sallalahu alaihi wa ali) with this verse, in this form: “But those who were unjust ABOUT THE RIGHTS OF  FAMILY OF MUHAMMAD, changed it for a saying other than that which had been spoken to them, so We sent upon those who were unjust REGARDING RIGHTS OF FAMILY OF MUHAMMAD a pestilence from heaven, because they transgressed”.
