He may have referred to hadith. There are accounts of the different pieces of the Quran being gathered by companions. And according to one interpretation of one account there were two verses which were found with one companion so the argument is that those two verses don't have the same degree of multiple attestation (mutawatir) as the other verses. Rashid Khalifa also initially attracted a flurry of initial support and interest from orthodox Muslim because he claimed to have discovered a series of mathematical "miracles" and particularly elegant patterns in the Quran. Eventually his system broke down and instead of saying he was wrong he claimed that the verses in question were wrong because they didn't fit his algorithm. He also claimed to be a prophet/messenger... > Also there are Khajirites who believe that the Sura of Yusuf is fake. What do you mean by Khawarij? It was my understanding that the original Khawarij don't really exist anymore but I at least assumed they were Muslim. Similarly I thought the Ibadis also believed in the same Quran.
