The '''Mushaf of Ali''' is a codex of the [[Quran]] (a {{transliteration|ar|[[mushaf]]}}) that was collected by one of its first scribes, [[Ali|Ali ibn Abi Talib]] ({{Died in|661}}), the cousin and son-in-law of the [[Prophets and messengers in Islam|Islamic prophet]] [[Muhammad]]. Ali is also recognized as the fourth [[Rashidun Caliphate|Rashidun caliph]] ({{Reign|656|661}}) and the first [[Imamate in Shia doctrine|Shia imam]]. By some [[Shia Islam|Shia]] accounts, the codex of Ali was rejected for official use after the death of Muhammad in 632 [[Common Era|CE]] for political reasons. Some early Shia traditions also suggest differences with the official [[History of the Quran#Uthman ibn Affan and the canonization|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 Shi'ism|Twelver Shia]] believe that the codex of Ali is now in the possession of their last imam, [[Muhammad al-Mahdi]], who would reveal the codex (and its authoritative commentary by Ali) when he reappears at the end of time to eradicate injustice and evil.
