Yup that's true. Some verses are even fabricated. However i believe the reason is much deeper its related with pure hatred against the West etc. If half your family was killed in missile attacks and then someone comes and says

for the chain part.
Lets just say you claim to have a orignal saying of the prophet on TEXT. I Come to you to collect the text. I ask you where you got this from. (You were born 100 years after the prophets death (SUPPOSEDLY) you say you got this from your grandfather. your grandfather is...
