461. Are Suhuf and Kitab one and the same?

Scriptures are mentioned in the Quran either as Suhuf or Kitab. Though both these words refer only to the scriptures, some scholars make a differentiation between the two,

The scripture with a large volume is called the Kitab , and the one with small content as Suhuf.

There is no proof to substantiate this difference, can be seen from the verses (80:13, 98:2) of the Quran.

The scripture revealed to Prophet Muhammad known as the Quran is bigger in volume, though it is referred to as the Kitab in many places of the Quran, it is mentioned in these two verses (80:13, 98:2) of the Quran as Suhuf, lending credence to the the opinion, immaterial of the size, the Quran can also be referred to as Suhuf.
