About Mushaf Ali
The Mushaf of Ali is a codex of the Quran that was collected by one of its first scribes, Ali ibn Abi Talib, the cousin and son-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. By some Shia accounts, the codex of Ali was rejected for official use after the death of Muhammad in 632 CE for political reasons; today three pages of this work survive us, which are kept in the Imam Ali mosque. Some early Shia traditions also suggest differences with the official Uthmanid codex, though currently the prevalent Shia view is that the recension of Ali matched the Uthmanid codex, save for the order of its content. The Twelver Shia believe that the entirety of the codex of Ali is in the possession of the last imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, who would reveal the codex when he reappears at the end of time to eradicate injustice and evil.
