The Quran which the Twelver Shi’ites [Rafidis] believe in is not the same Quran of the Sunni Muslims. According to them the Quran which was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad [sall Allahu alaihi wasallam] through the agency of Angel Gabriel contained seventeen thousand verses, that is about ten thousand more verses than is contained in the Quran we have in our possession today!
علي بن الحكم عن هشام بن سالم عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال إن القرآن الذي جاء به جبرئيل عليه السلام إلى محمد صلى الله عليه وآله سبعة عشر ألف آية
Ali bin al-Hakam, from Hisham bin Salim, from Abi Abdillah [Ja’far al-Sadiq] peace be upon him, he said: The Quran which Gabriel, peace be upon him, came with to Muhammad, blessings of Allah upon him and his family, was seventeen thousand Ayat [verses]
(Usul al-Kafi; v.2, p.350)
Keep in mind this narration attributed to Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq is considered genuine by the Shi’ites according to their principles of Hadith verification. Al-Hurr al-’Amili, a prominent Shi’ite muhaddith, authenticated this narration (al-Fawa’id al-Tusiya; p.483)
Mulla Baqir Majlisi authenticated this narration and even said that many other such narrations are authentic too and in fact are mutawatir [mass-transmitted] in meaning (Mirat al-’Uqul; v.12, pp.525-526)
Likewise, Baqir Majlisi’s father, Taqi Majlisi, authenticated this narration (Rawdat ul-Muttaqun; v.10, pp.20-21)
