- This is a sub-article to Sh--a Islam and the Qur'an
The Sh--a view of the Qur'an has some differences from the Sunni view but it must be noted that the text of the Qur'an is exactly identical.
History
The Sh--a use the same Qur'-n as Sunni Muslims and also agree it was collected during Uthman's Caliphate.
Tafs-r
The Sh--a tafs-r on several verses are different from the traditional Sunni view either through a totally different interpretation or by giving the same interpretation, but giving that interpretation a larger impact on their jurisprudence.

Hadith of The Cloak
4:24
4:24, or an-Nisa, 24, also called as "the verse of Mut-ah", is the Qur'-nic verse that some Sh-'ites use to prove the legality of temporary marriages (Arabic: Nikah Mut'ah). (Note: The issue of temporary marriage is a highly debated one, even within the branch of Shi'ite Islam. Please refer to this page for further readings on the issue, and to read about its validity in both Sunni and Sh'ia circles.)

Misconceptions
-
There are some common misconceptions and accusations about the Sh--a.
While Sunnis and the Sh--a accept the same text of the Qur'-n, some claim that Sh--a dispute the current version: i.e. that they add two additional s-ratayn, an-N-rayn and al-Wil-ya.[1]
This accusation of tahr-f "tampering" is antithetical to scholars and is considered polemical.[2][3] The above s-ratayn are considered forgeries and do not appear in published Qur'ans. Sh--a Muslims consider the accusation that they are using a different Qur'an as one of the misconceptions about the Shi'a. The Sh--a recite the Qur-an according to the Qira-t of Hafs on authority of -Asim, which is the prevalent Qira-t in the Islamic world.[4]
Some accused Sh--a of alleging that Fatimah had her own Mus'haf (Qur'an), the Mushaf of Fatimah, which was allegedly three times larger than the current Qur'an. Again, Sh--as reject this as a missrepresentation of facts aimed at misscrediting them.
