سورة الحجر

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family): الَّذِینَ جَعَلُوا الْقُرْآنَ عِضِینَ [Those who made the Quran into shreds], meaning they believed in part of it and disbelieved in part of it.

Imam Baqir (peace be upon him) and Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Zurara, Humran and Muhammad ibn Muslim narrate that Imam Baqir (peace be upon him) and Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said regarding the verse الَّذِینَ جَعَلُوا الْقُرْآنَ عِضِینَ [Those who made the Quran into shreds]: [What is meant by the verse] is Quraysh.

Imam Ali (peace be upon him): As for the slips of the prophets (and what Allah has explained in His Book, and the use of allusion in place of the names of those who committed a crime greater than what the prophets committed, and to whose oppression the Book of Allah has testified — this is among the greatest proofs of the shining wisdom, overpowering might and manifest glory of Allah the Mighty and Majestic. ... Allah the Mighty and Majestic did not conceal the names of the prophets out of pride and haughtiness, rather He did so that the people of insight might know that the concealment of the names of the hypocrites who commit great sins, in the Quran, is not from the act of Allah the Exalted, rather this is from the doing of the alterers and the changers — those very ones who الَّذِینَ جَعَلُوا الْقُرْآنَ عِضِینَ [made the Quran into shreds] divided the Quran and chose the world in place of the religion.

Imam Husayn (peace be upon him): Mus'ab ibn Abdullah says: When the army of disbelief surrounded Imam Husayn (peace be upon him), that noble one mounted his horse, and after silencing the people and offering praise and thanks to Allah, he said: O wicked group ... You hastened to pledge allegiance to us like small locusts, and you rushed to our allegiance like moths around a candle. But then, out of foolishness and misguidance, you broke your allegiance to us. May you perish and be destroyed! The idols — that is, the Yazids of this ummah and the rest of the parties, and those who cast the Book behind their backs, extinguished and suspended the sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family). The very ones who made brotherhood with the mockers; الَّذِینَ جَعَلُوا الْقُرْآنَ عِضِینَ [Those who made the Quran into shreds].

Imam Husayn (peace be upon him): In the book al-Manaqib of Ibn Shahrashub it is reported: Abdullah says: [When Ibn Sa'd was preparing his companions for battle against Imam Husayn (peace be upon him) ...] those people, heedless of Allah, surrounded Imam Husayn (peace be upon him) from every side ... The Imam said to them: ... You are none other than the tyrants and bullies of this ummah, ignoble parties, the spittle of Satan, a sinful group, alterers of the Quran, those who suspend the sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family), killers of the children of the prophets, destroyers of the progeny of the wasis, those who attach the children of adulterers to lineage, tormentors of the believers, promoters of the leaders of the mockers, الَّذِینَ جَعَلُوا الْقُرْآنَ عِضِینَ [Those who made the Quran into shreds] — the very ones who divided the Quran.
