The distortion of the Holy Qur'an is a subject that has always been discussed from the early centuries to the modern era, especially the period after the absence of Imam Zaman, and it is considered one of the main subjects in the sciences of the Qur'an and theology. Many books and works have been written in this field, and it is still a point of dispute for many scholars of Kalam and Hadith scholars and different sects of Islam. In Shia narrative texts, there are also narrations that some Islamic scholars consider these narrations to be distortions. It seems that the most important factor that can end these disputes is the use of the Holy Quran itself in answering this issue. In this article, by using library sources and vocabulary analysis, we are trying to explain "Ma'anzal" and " Manuzil " in the Holy Qur'an, by using which we will find out the proof of the non-distortion of the Holy Qur'an. One of the results of this article is that the prophet's power to explain is due to having the complete collection of Quranic knowledge, which was revealed to him at once (Ma'anzl) explains the "Manuzil". Also, in the middle of the discussion, we will explore the words of deliberation, explanation and interpretation from the perspective of the Qur'an. Ahl al-Bayt, in addition to being the inheritors of prophetic sciences, because of their absolute purity, have access to the "Book of Maknoon" which is the essence and truth of the Qur'an. Therefore, like the Prophet, explanation and interpretation have been entrusted to them.
