The origins of Tahrif are debated. [[Muqatil ibn Sulayman]] (8th century) claimed in his tafsir on Quran 2:79 that the Jews had distorted the ''[[Torah in Islam|Tawrat]]'' (or [[Torah]]), and removed the mention of [[Muhammad]] in the [[Quran]]<ref>[[Muqatil ibn Sulayman]] Tafsir 2:79</ref> although some academics have doubted this as a true mention of tahrif.<ref>Early Muslim Accusations of Tahrif: Muqātil ibn Sulaymān's commentary on key qur'anic verses by Gordon D Nickel
</ref> Al-Kasim b. Ibrahim (9th century), made the claim that the [[Jews]] and [[Christians]] had misinterpreted the interpretations of The ''[[Torah in Islam|Tawrat]]'' (or [[Torah]]), the ''[[Zabur]]'' (or [[Psalms]]) and the [[Gospel in Islam|''Injil'']] (or [[Gospel]]). This concept is referred to as "Tahrif al-mana".<ref>{{Cite book|last=Lazarus-Yafeh|first=Haza|title=Tahrif|publisher=Brill|year=2000|isbn=9004112111|location=Leiden|pages=111}}</ref>

Al-Tabari suspected that the Jews of his time were using this different ''[[Torah in Islam|Tawrat]]'' instead of the original Torah by [[Moses]] which is why Al-Tabari made the distinction of referring to the Torah of his time as "The Torah that they possess today" [[Al-Tabari]] says elsewhere in his [[Tafsir]] of Quran 2:42 that the [[Jews]] had introduced falsehood with their own hands in the ''[[Torah in Islam|Tawrat]]'' (or [[Torah]]),<ref>Camilla Adang.

It is worthy to note that some companions such as Uthman ibn Affan <ref>Tafsir Ibn Kathir 2:79</ref> and most notably Ibn Abbas made some statements that imply he believed the scriptures of ‘the people of the book’ were distorted. In Sahih Bukhari he is quoted saying as narrated by Ubaidullah:
