10. Belief regarding the omission of the verse of Jihad in the last era
It has been narrated by Abdul Rahman b. Auf that Umar asked him about the verse ‘…and struggle in the way of Allah as is the right to struggle’
Have you not read this verse in the following manner: Struggle in the way of Allah in the last era like you struggled in the beginning. Abdul Rahman replied in the affirmative and asked: Which is the time referred to in this verse?
Umar: It is the time when Bani Ummayyah will be governors and Bani Mughairah ministers. In another tradition it is mentioned that Abdul Rahman replied thus to Umar: This verse among a number of other verses have been omitted from Quran and have been abandoned.

11. Belief regarding omission of the verse الا بلغوا قومنا
Sunni traditions narrate that the verse regarding the martyrs at the Well of Maoonah i.e. B’er-e-Maoonah (a group that went for propagation to Najd and were martyred by the Bani Lahyan) was revealed thus : الا بلغوا قومنا قد لقینا ربنا فرضی عنا و ارضانا

12. Belief regarding omission of the verse ذات الدین and وادی التراب
It has been narrated from Ubayy b. Ka’b that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a) said: Allah has ordered me to recite the Holy Quran for you and from all the verses I recited are these two verses: If there was for son of Adam a part of wealth he would wish for a second part and if he had the second part also he would wish for the third one and nothing save dust will satiate him.
And the second verse is: Surely the only religion with Allah is the upright religion, which is other than Judaism and Christianity, and he who does good has not disbelieved.

13. Belief regarding omission of Tasbeehaat-e-Arba’aa
It is apparent from certain Sunni traditions that Tasbeehaat-e-Arba’aa is a part of Quran. For instance it has been narrated by Samarah that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a) said: Four things are the best words and are from Quran. Start (reciting) it wherever you like: سبحان الله و الحمد لله و لااله الا الله و الله اکبر

14. Belief that the text of the Holy Quran can be altered
The most sacrilegious Sunni view with regards to Tahreef is that it is permissible for someone to say that – I can change the words of Quran provided that I do not change punishment into forgiveness and vice versa.
It has been mentioned in traditions that a person recited Quran before Umar, who reviled him. The man said: I recited in a similar manner before Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a) and he did not indicate to me to do the opposite.
They went to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a) and he supported the Quran of the other person at which Umar felt offended. At this Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a) informed Umar: All of Quran is correct provided that punishment is not changed into forgiveness and vice versa. And similarly it has been narrated that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a) said: Recite Quran on seven alphabets, all of which are intercessors and sufficient, with the condition that chastisement is not changed to forgiveness and vice versa. For instance you say تعالmeaning come here or اقبل both have the similar meaning.
