خلاصة:
In the books of Quranic sciences, we see numerous and sometimes contradictory materials about the role of Hajjāj ibn Yūsuf in the recognition of the current text of the Holy Qurʾan. Ḥajjāj's character and especially Sajestāni's narrative of his eleven changes have become an excuse to doubt the authenticity of the Qur’an. In this article, we collected, criticized and analyzed the sayings of Muslim scholars and orientalists with descriptive-analytical method and analyzed what Ḥajjāj did in relation to the Qurʾan and what was his motivation for this work. According to this research, Sajestāani's narrative is acceptable by providing explanations and does not contradict the validity of the Qurʾan. The main work of Ḥajjāj has been promoting the ʿUttomān Muṣḥaf and completing the project of Tawḥīd Muṣaḥaf and eliminating incorrect recitations, especially the recitations of ibn Masʿūd. A goal that Ḥajjāj, like ʿUthmān, could not fully achieve. His motivation was also the love of ʿUthmān and the hatred of the Qariyans and Mawālī for appearing in the war of ibn Ashʿath; A war that was about to destroy not only Ḥajjāj and Banī Umayyad but also the Islamic Caliphate forever.

A Historical Analysis of Perspectives Regarding the Role of al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf al-Thaqafi in the Stabilization of the Final Text of the Holy Quran 1 Hadi Gholamrezaei 2 Kavous Roohi Brandagh Date Received: 2022/09/22, Date Accepted: 2022/12/19, Pages 107 to 135 (Research Article) Abstract In the books of Quranic sciences, we witness numerous and sometimes contradictory claims regarding the role of al-Hajjaj in the formalization of the current text of the Holy Quran.
(Ibn Kathir, 1416 AH, 149; Ramyar, 1380 SH, 541 and 542; Blachère, 1374 SH, 40) free from being The dissatisfaction of Uthman's children with the result of al-Hajjaj's group's work (Ma'rifat, 1388 SH, 2/130) shows that their work was in relation to the Uthmanic codices and likely their spelling errors were corrected; perhaps those same accents that Uthman himself saw but took no action against, leaving their correction to the Arabic speakers left.
- If al-Hajjaj had truly distorted the Quran, not only his opponents but the general Muslim population would not have left him alone, and this matter, for which there are many reasons for transmission, would have been transmitted through mutawatir (successive) reports; rather than us witnessing such a claim only from one person and in only one narration; (Baqillani, 1422 AH, 1/66; Zarqani, 1368 AH, 1/266; Khoei, 219) - If there were verses criticizing the Umayyads in the Quran, before al-Hajjaj, Muawiyah, who possessed greater power, would have taken action to delete them, such as when he held the Friday prayer on Wednesday and no one protested; (Khoei, 219) - The cases mentioned as distortions by al-Hajjaj are not to the benefit of the Umayyads or to the detriment of their enemies; so why should al-Hajjaj change them?!
