Types of Verses:

Mansukh (Abrogated): Those Verses which were replaced with new Verses –
and will be indicated through Ahadith in the tafseer. For example, Amir-ul-
Momineenasws says:

‫اس َم‬
ْ ‫ َسبِّ ِح‬:‫ صلى هبم أربعني صباحا يقرأ هبم‬،‫ [ملا] قدم أمري املؤمنني (عليه السالم) الكوفة‬:‫ عن األصبغ بن نباتة قال‬:‫العياشي‬
‫ و لو أحسن أن يقرأ القرآن لقرأ بنا غري ذه‬،‫ ما حيسن ابن أيب طالب أن يقرأ القرآن‬،‫ ال و اهلل‬:‫ فقال املنافقون‬:‫ك ْاأل َْعلَى قال‬
َ ِّ‫َرب‬
.‫السورة‬

Al-Ayyashi – From AL-Asbagh Bin Nabata who said:

‘When Amir-ul-Momineenasws proceeded to Al-Kufa, heasws Prayed with them for forty
morning reciting with them “Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High” [87:1].
The hypocrites said, ‘No, by Allahazwj! The sonasws of Abu Talibasws is not being good
in reciting the Quran, and it would be better if he asws were to recite the Quran with us
by other than this Chapter’.

‫ و حروفه من‬،‫ و فصله من فصاله‬،‫ و حمكمه من متشاهبه‬،‫ إين ألعرف ناسخه من منسوخه‬،‫ «ويل هلم‬:‫ فقال‬،‫ فبلغه ذلك‬:‫قال‬
.‫ و يف أي موضع‬،‫ و يف أي يوم‬،‫ و اهلل ما من حرف نزل على حممد (صلى اهلل عليه و آله) إال أين أعرف فيمن نزل‬.‫معانيه‬

He (Al-Asbagh) said, ‘That reached himasws, so heasws said: ‘Woe be unto them! Iasws
recognise its Abrogating from its Abrogated, and it’s Decisive from its Allegorical,
and its Separated from its Joint, and its Letters from its Meanings. By Allahazwj! There
is no letter which was Revealed unto Muhammadsaww except that Iasws recognise for
which one it was Revealed, and in which day, and regarding which subject.

‫ ورثتهما من رسول اهلل (صلى اهلل عليه‬،‫يم َو ُموسى و اهلل عندي‬ ِ ِ ِ ِ ُّ ‫ أما يقرءون إِ َّن ذها لَِفي‬،‫ويل هلم‬
َ ‫ص ُحف إبْراذ‬
ُ ‫الص ُحف ْاألُوىل‬
‫ أنا‬-‫ و اهلل‬-‫ ويل هلم‬.)‫ و قد أهنى يل رسول اهلل (صلى اهلل عليه و آله) [صحف] إبراذيم و موسى (عليهما السالم‬،)‫و آله‬
ِ ‫ و تَعِيها أُذُ ٌن و‬:‫الهي أنزل اهلل يف‬
‫ فإذا‬،‫ فإمنا كنا عند رسول اهلل (صلى اهلل عليه و آله) فيخربنا بالوحي فأعيه أنا و من يعيه‬، ٌ‫اعيَة‬ َ َ
.»‫ ما ذا قال آنفا؟‬:‫خرجنا قالوا‬

Woe be unto them! But they are reciting “Most surely this is in the earlier
scriptures [87:18]. The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa” [87:19]. By Allahazwj!
These are in myasws possession, and Iasws inherited these two from the Rasool
Allahsaww, and the Rasool Allahsaww handed over to measws the Scriptures of Ibrahimas
and Musaas. Woe be unto them! By Allahazwj, Iasws (am the one) about whom Allahazwj
Revealed: “And that the retaining ear would retain it” [69:12]. But rather, we
used to be in the presence of the Rasool Allah saww, so hesaww would inform us by the
Revelation, so Iasws would hear it and retain it. So when we would go out, they would
say: “What was it that he said just now?” [47:16] 1

“Heazwj is Who has revealed the Book to you. Some of its Verses are Decisive, they
are the basis of the Book, and others are Allegorical. Then as for those in whose
hearts there is perversity they follow the part of it which is ‘‫ات‬ ِ

seeking to mislead and seeking to give it (their own) interpretation; but none knows
its interpretation except Allah, and ‘‫خو َن ِيف الْعِْل ِم‬ ِ َّ ‫ ’و‬those who are firmly rooted in

‫[الس ِمي ِع الْ َعلِي ِم] ِم َن‬

َّ ‫َعوذُ بِاللَّ ِه‬ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ
ُ ‫ «أ‬:‫ َو أ ََمَرَك بِه عْن َد قَراءَة الْ ُق ْرآن‬،‫ك [اللَّهُ] إِلَْيه‬

»‫الرِجي ِم‬ ِ َ‫الشَّيط‬
َّ ‫ان‬ ْ
Then Al-Hassanasws, Abu Muhammadasws, the Imamasws said: ‘As for Hisazwj Words
which Allahazwj Assigned to and Commanded with at (the commencement) of
recitation of the Quran is, ‘I seek Refuge with Allah azwj, the Hearing, the Knowing,
from the Pelted Satanla’.

ِ ‫الس ِمي ِع» لِم َق ِال ْاألَخيا ِر و ْاألَ ْشرا ِر و لِ ُك ِّل الْمسموع‬
‫ات ِم َن‬ َّ « ،‫َي أ َْمتَنِ ُع بِاللَّ ِه‬ ِ ِ ‫ «أ‬:‫ إِ َّن قَولَه‬:‫ال‬ ِِ ِ
َ ُْ َ َ َ َ َْ َ ْ ‫َعوذُ باللَّه» أ‬
ُ ُْ َ َ‫ني ع ق‬ َ ‫فَِإ َّن أَم َري الْ ُم ْؤمن‬

‫يَ ُكو ُن‬

So Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘His words, ‘I seek Refuge with Allahazwj – i.e., I am
abstaining with Allahazwj; ‘the Hearing’ – of the speeches of the good ones and the
evil ones and for everything that can be heard from the (words) in public and secret;
the ‘Knowing’ – of the deeds of the righteous ones and the immoral ones, and with
everything what has already happened, and what would be happening (and what has
not happened yet), that if it was to happen, how it would be happening.

‘From the Pelted Satanla’ – And the Satanla, hela is remote from every goodness, the
one Pelted by the Curse, the Castaway from the good spots. And the seeking of the
Refuge, it is from what Allahazwj has Commanded Hisazwj servants with, during their
recitation of the Quran, so Heazwj Said: So when you recite the Quran, then seek
Refuge with Allah from the Pelted Satan [16:98] Surely there isn’t any authority
for him over those who are believing and they are relying upon their Lord
[16:99] But rather, his authority is over those who are befriending him and
those who are associating with him [16:100].

.‫َّاريْ ِن‬ َ َْ ْ َ َ ُ َ َ َ َ َْ َ
And the one who disciplines (himself) with the Education of Allah azwj Mighty and
Majestic, Heazwj would Enable him to achieve perpetual success; and the one who
heeds the Advice of Allahazwj, would have for him the goodness of the two houses
(world and Hereafter)’.3

Mu'awwadhatayn: The two last surah in the Holy Qur'an are collectively called
‘Mu'awwadhatayn’ (Sura-e-Falaq and Sura-e-Naas). These both start with
isthegaatha: Qul 'a`udhu bi-Rabbill.

Characteristics of ‘‫( ’بسم اهلل الرحمن الرحيم‬Bismillah): Three Ahadith are

presented here and additional Ahadith will be presented in the tafseer of Chapter
One, Insha Allahazwj.

‫ عم دوا إىل أعم م آي ة يف كت اب‬-‫ ق اتلهم اهلل‬-‫ «م ا هل م‬:‫ مسعت جعفر بن حممد (عليه الس الم) يق ول‬:‫ قال‬،‫عن خ الد بن املختار‬

َّ ‫الر ْْح ِن‬
From Khalid Bin Al Mukhtar who said,

‘I heard Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws saying: ‘What is the matter with them? May
Allahazwj Kill them! They are deliberating to the most magnificent Verse in the Book of
Allahazwj, and they are claiming that it is an innovation when they are manifesting it,
and it is ‫[ بسم هللا الرحمن الرحيم‬1:1]’’.4

،‫ وإن " بسم اهلل الرْحن الرحيم " آية م ن فاة ة الكت اب‬:)‫ قال أمري املؤمنني (عليه السالم‬:)‫وقال اْلسن بن علي (عليه السالم‬
‫ ي ا‬:‫ إن اهلل عزوج ل ق ال يل‬:‫ مسعت رسول اهلل (صلى اهلل عليه وآله) يق ول‬: ‫ قال‬.‫وذي سبع آيات متامها بسم اهلل الرْحن الرحيم‬
‫ وجعلها بازاء القرآن العميم وأن فاةة‬،‫حممد " ولقد اتيناك سبعا من املثاىن والقرآن العميم " فأفرد االمتنان علي بفاةة الكتاب‬
.‫الكتاب أشرف ما يف كنوز العرش‬

And Al-Hassanasws Bin Aliasws said that Amir-Al-Momineenasws said: 'The Verse
‫[ بسم اهلل الرْحن الرحيم‬1:1] is one of the Verses of the 'Opening of the Book' which consists
of seven Verses, including this one. I have heard Rasool-Allahsaww say: 'Allahazwj Said
to me, 'O Muhammadsaww [15:87] And We have Given you seven of the oft-
repeated (verses) and the Magnificent Quran. Allahazwj Referred to it separately in
the Opening of the Book and Made it special to the Magnificent Quran and this
Opening of the Book is from the treasures of the Throne.'

‫وأن اهلل تع اىل خ هب هب ا حمم دا (ص لى اهلل علي ه وآل ه) وش رفه هب ا ور يش رك مع ه فيه ا أح دا م ن أنبيائ ه م ا خ ال س ليمان (علي ه‬

" ‫سليمان وانه بسم اهلل الرْحن الرحيم‬

Allahazwj Bestowed a special Favour on Muhammadsaww with it and did not let anyone
else from the Prophets have a share in it except for Prophet Suleyman as as Heazwj
Gave himas ‫[ بس م اهلل ال رْحن ال رحيم‬1:1] from this. Do you not see when heas wrote to Bilquis
and she said, [27:29] She said: O you Chiefs! An honourable letter has been
delivered to me [27:30] It is from Sulayman, and it is in the Name of Allah, the
Beneficent, the Merciful?

‫ أعط ا اهلل عزوج ل بك ل ح رف منه ا‬،‫ مؤمن ا بم اذرذم وب اطنهم‬،‫ منق ادا الم رذم‬،‫أال فم ن قرأذ ا معتق دا مل واالة حمم د وآل ه الطيب ني‬

Indeed! So the one who recites this and believes in the Wilayah of Muhammad saww
and hissaww Pure Progenyasws, and believes in their manifest and hidden matters,
then Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic will Give him a Reward for every letter of it, each
of which will be better than this world and whatever is in it from the varieties of its
wealth and (all of) its goodness.

،‫ فان ه غنيم ة ال ي هذ أوان ه‬،‫ فليستكثر أحدكم م ن ذ ها اْل ري املع رم لك م‬،‫ومن استمع قارئا يقرأذا كان له قدر ثلث ما للقارئ‬

And the one who listens intently to a reciter reciting it, would have for him a third of
what is for the reciter. Therefore, let each one of you attain a good deal from this
goodness shown to you, for it is a booty the season of which will not be passing
away, in case regret remains in your heart (of noting benefiting from its recitations).' 5

FOREWORD

IN THE NAME OF ALLAHazwj THE BENEFICENT THE MERCIFUL

The Praise is for Allahazwj, Lordazwj of the worlds, and the Salawat be upon the Chief
of the Prophetssaww and hissaww Infallible Progenyasws, and the Mercy of Allahazwj and
Hisazwj Blessings.

It is incredible that despite the Holy Prophetsaww (Rasool Allahsaww) having left two
weighty things to hold on to firmly, commentaries compiled on the Holy Quran are
primarily based on theology, philosophy, logic and historical accounts. Ahadeeth
(narrations of Rasool Allahsaww) are given less significance - leaving a bigger field for
the personal views and hence resulting in many sects within Muslims!

It is clear from the evidence available that whosoever expresses his own opinion on
the Holy Quran has blasphemed and reserved his seat in the Fire of Hell.

We have therefore decided to compile a Tafseer based on Ahadith rather than to

write one. Not a single word of commentary will be from anyone apart from the Holy
Prophetsaww and the twelve Divine Imams of the Holy Ahl Al-Baytasws.

Is there anyone who can understand the Quran apart from them asws? Did Jibraeelas
ever descend unto anyone other than themasws with it?

We also seek forgiveness from Allahazwj for the unintentional mistakes being left in
the manuscript and also request readers of the Tafseer Hub-e-Aliasws to indicate
those upon coming across any mistake or make suggestions for improving its
content and presentations. May Allahazwj and the Holy Masomeenasws accept our little
effort Ameen!

.»‫ ألنه مرتجم لكم عن كتاب اهلل‬،‫ و علي أفضل لكم من كتاب اهلل‬،‫ و علي بن أيب طالب‬،‫ كتاب اهلل‬:‫الثقلني‬

Al-Dulaymi, and Abu Al-Hassan Muhammad Bin Shazan, from Zayd Bin Sabit who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Isaww am leaving behind among you all, the two weighty
things – Book of Allahazwj and Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws; and Aliasws is superior for you
all than the Book of Allahazwj, because heasws is the interpreter for you of the Book of
Allahazwj’’.7

What the Sheykh Al Sadouq Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Babuwayh has related from his father who
said that Hassan Al-Mu’dhab narrated from Ahmad Bin Ali Al-Isfahani from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad
Al-Saqafi from Muhammad Bin Aslam Al-Toosi from Abu Raja’a Qutayban Bin Saeed from Hammad
Bin Zayd from Abdul Rahman Bin Siraaj from Nafe’ from Abdullah Bin Umar who said that,

‫من له عند اهلل منزلة ومقام كمنزليت ومقامي إال النبوة ؟‬

‘We asked Rasool-Allahsaww about Aliasws Ibn Abi Talibasws. Hesaww got annoyed and
said: ‘What is it about people who are mentioning himasws whose status and standing
with Allahazwj is the same as mysaww status and standing, except for the Prophet-
hood?

Similar to that, Hisazwj Deed, the Blessed and Exalted, nothing can resemble it from
the deeds of the humans, nor can anything from Hisazwj Speech resemble the speech
of the humans. And the Speech of Allahazwj is Hisazwj Attribute, and the speech of the
humans is their deed. Therefore, do not resemble the Speech of Allah azwj with the
speech of the humans, for you will be destroyed and stray’.29

From Abu Abdul Rahman Al Salmy,

‘Aliasws passed by a judge, so heasws said: ‘Do you recognise the Abrogating (Verse)
from the Abrogated (Verse)?’ He said, ‘No’. So heasws said: ‘You are destroyed and
will cause others to be destroyed. The explanation of every letter from the Quran is
upon its perspective’.30

Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Awramat, from Ali Bin
Hasaan, from his uncle Abdul Rahman Bin Kaseer who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘(What about) therefore ask the people of the
Reminder (Ahl Al-Zikr) if you do not know? [16:43]’. Heasws said: ‘The Reminder
(Al-Zikr) is Muhammadsaww, and weasws are the onesasws to be asked of’. I said, ‘(What
about) And most surely it is a Reminder (Zikr) for you and your people, and you
shall soon be questioned” [43:44], heasws said: ‘It means usasws, and weasws are the
peopleasws of the Reminder (Ahl Al-Zikr) and weasws are to be asked of’.33

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibrahim Bin Abdul Hameed, from Muha Bin
Akeyl Al Numeyri, from Al A’la Bin Sayabat,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Words of the Exalted:
Surely this Quran Guides to that which is most upright [17:9], heasws said:
‘Guides to the Imamasws’.34

erred in interpreting a Verse, so heasws said: ‘O Qatada! But rather, you should try to
understand the Quran from the onesasws who are addressed by it’.35

And the one who interprets the Quran by his opinion, so he has forged a lie against
Allahazwj, and the one who issues Fatwas without knowledge is Cursed by the Angels
of the sky and the earth. Every innovation is a straying, and every straying, its path is

Abdul Rahman Bin Samrat said, ‘I said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww, guide me to the

salvation’. So hesaww said: ‘O Bin Samrat! If the desires differ and the opinions are
split, so it is upon you to be with Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, for heasws is the Imamasws of
mysaww community, and mysaww Caliph over them from after mesaww, and heasws is the
Differentiator (Al-Farouq) who differentiates between the Truth and the falsehood.

The one who asks himasws, heasws answers him, and the one will seek guidance from
himasws, heasws will guide him, and the one who looks for the truth in his asws presence
would find it, and the one who sought guidance from him asws came across it, and one

O Bin Samrat! The safe one among you is the one who submitted to him asws and
befriended himasws, and the destroyed is the one who rejected him asws and was
inimical to himasws.

and heasws is the husband of mysaww daughterasws Fatimaasws, the Chieftess of the

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said to
Aliasws: ‘O Aliasws! The Quran is behind mysaww bed in the sheets of silk and papers.
So take these and gather it, and do not let it go to waste just as the Jews wasted the
Torah’. So Aliasws went, and collected it all in a yellow cloth, the completed it in hisasws
house and said: ‘Iasws will not wear (a shawl) until Iasws gather it’. So heasws was a man
who came to it without a shawl until heasws had gathered it’.43

Aliasws started collecting the Quran to present it to the people. When he asws saw their
treachery and their lack of loyalty to himasws, heasws turned towards the Quran to
collect it. Heasws did not come out from hisasws house until heasws had collected it, and
it used to be written on the paper, and on the wood, and the skin, and other bits.
When heasws had collected the whole of it, and (was in the process of) writing it by
hisasws own hand in accordance with its Revelation, and its explanation, and the
Abrogating (Verses) and the Abrogated (Verses), Abu Bakr sent for himasws to come
out and pay allegiance to him. Aliasws sent a message to him: ‘Iasws am busy and have
taken it upon myselfasws that Iasws shall not put on a robe except for Salat until Iasws
have compiled the Quran and collected it’.

‫ فنادى علي‬.‫ ُث خرج إىل الناس وذم جمتمعون مع أيب بكر يف مسجد رسول اهلل‬،‫فسكتوا عنه أياما فجمعه يف ثوب واحد وختمه‬

So they kept quiet from himasws for a few days. Heasws collected it in one piece of
cloth and sealed it, then came out to the people, and they had gathered around Abu
Bakr in the Masjid of Rasool-Allahsaww. Aliasws called out in a loud voice: ‘O you
people! Iasws Since the passing away of Rasool-Allahsaww, I have been preoccupied
with hissaww washing, then with the Quran, and did not cease until I asws have collected
all of it in this one cloth.

(all of) it, so this is the Book of Allahazwj collected without a letter missing from it’. I
(Talha) have never seen that Book which youasws wrote and composed (where it is?)’.

The Quran collected by Umar and Usman

And I (Talha) have seen Umar, when he became the Caliph, sent someone to you asws
that youasws should send it (the Quran) to him. Youasws refused to do it. Umar called
the people, so when two people bore witness to a Verse of the Quran, he would write
it down, and what no more than one person bore witness to, he threw it out and he
did not get it written, and Umar said – and I was listening: ‘On the Day of Yamama (a
battle), men who would recite of the Quran (who had memorised it) were killed, and
what they did not recite has been lost’. And a goat came to the Parchment and ate it
– which Umar had made them (people) to write down, and what was in it had been
lost, and the Book today written by Usman, what do you asws say about it?

‫ والنور ستون ومائة‬،‫ (إن األحزاب كانت تعدل سورة البقرة‬:‫ومسعت عمر يقول وأصحابه الهين ألفوا ما كتبوا على عهد عثمان‬
‫ أن خترج إليهم ما قد ألفت للناس؟ وقد شهدت عثمان حني‬- ‫ يرْحك اهلل‬- ‫ واْلجرات تسعون آية) فما ذها؟ وما مينعك‬،‫آية‬
.‫أخه ما ألف عمر فجمع له الكتاب وْحل الناس على قراءة واحدة ومزق مصحف أيب بن كعب وابن مسعود وأحرقهما بالنار‬
‫فما ذها؟‬

And I (Talha) heard Umar say, as well as his companions who composed it in the era
of Usman that, ‘Al-Ahzaab (Chapter 33) was equal to Surah Al-Baqarah (Chapter 2),
and Al-Noor (Chapter 24) had one hundred and sixty Verses, and Al-Hujuraat
(Chapter 49) had ninety Verses, so what is this? And what prevented you asws – may
Allahazwj have Mercy on youasws – to bring out to the people what youasws had
composed? And I witnessed Usman when he took what Umar had composed, so he
composed the Book and made the people agree over one recitation and ripped the
Parchments of Ubay Bin Ka’ab and Ibn Mas’ood and burnt both of these in the fire.
So what is this?’

‫إمالء رسول اهلل صلى اهلل عليه وآله للقرآن على أمير المؤمنين عليه السالم‬

‫ إن كل آية أنزهلا اهلل يف كتابه على حممد صلى اهلل عليه وآله عندي بإمالء رسول اهلل‬،‫ يا طلحة‬:‫فقال أمري املؤمنني عليه السالم‬
‫ وتأويل كل آية أنزهلا اهلل على حممد صلى اهلل عليه وآله وكل حالل أو حرام أو حد أو حكم أو‬،‫صلى اهلل عليه وآله وخطي بيدي‬
.‫أي شيئ ةتاج إليه األمة إىل يوم القيامة عندي مكتوب بإمالء رسول اهلل وخط يدي حىت أرش اْلدش‬

Rasool-Allahsaww dictated the Quran of Amir-Al-Momineenasws

Amir-Al-Momineenasws said: ‘O Talha, All the Verses which Allahazwj Sent down in
Hisazwj Book upon Muhammadsaww is in myasws possession, by the dictation of the
Messenger of Allahsaww and in myasws writing by myasws hand, and the explanation of
all that Allahazwj Sent down upon Muhammadsaww, and all the Permissible or
Prohibitions, or Limits, or Orders, or anything which the community will need up to
the Day of Judgement is in myasws possession in a written form by the dictation of
Rasool-Allahsaww, and in myasws writing, to the extent of the compensation for a
scratch’.

Talha said, ‘All things, small or great, or specific or general, has occurred and will be
(happening) up to the Day of Judgement, so it is written, and is in your asws
possession?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, and Rasool-Allahsaww divulged a secret to measws
during hissaww illness, which opened a thousand doors of the knowledge, each of the
doors opened to a thousand (further) doors. And had the community, since Allah azwj
Captured Hisazwj Prophetsaww, had followed measws, and had obeyed measws, they
would have eaten (sustenance) from above them and from under their feet,
plentifully, up to the Day of Judgement’.

Support for the present Quran during our era

Talha said, ‘What is yourasws opinion – O Abu Al-Hassanasws – answer measws to what
I have asked you about the matter of the Quran, will youasws be displaying it to the
people?’ Heasws said: ‘O Talha, Iasws intentionally held back from answering you’. He
said, ‘So inform me of what was written by Umar and Usman, is it all the Quran, or
there is in it which is not the Quran?’ Heasws said, ‘But rather, all of it is the Quran. If
you were to take to it with what is in it, you will be rescued from the Fire and will
enter the Paradise, for in it are ourasws Proofs, and the explanation of ourasws matters
and ourasws rights, and the obligation of obedience to usasws’.

‫ إىل‬،‫ فأخربين عما يف يديك من القرآن وتأويله وعلم اْلالل واْلرام‬:‫ ُث قال طلحة‬.‫ أما إذا كان قرآنا فحسِب‬،‫ حسِب‬:‫فقال طلحة‬
‫من تدفعه ومن صاحبه بعدك؟‬

Talha said, ‘It is sufficient if it is the Quran, so it is sufficient for me’. Then Talha said,
‘So, inform me about the Quran which is in yourasws hands, and its explanation, and
the knowledge of the Permissible and the Prohibited, to whom will youasws be
handing it over to, and who is yourasws companion after youasws?’.

sonasws Al-Hassanasws will hand it over, during his passing away, to this son asws of

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from one of his
companions,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassanasws said, ‘I said to himasws, ‘May I be
sacrificed for youasws, we are hearing Verses of the Quran, and these are not what
we have as we are hearing them to be, and we consider it good that we should read
it as these have reached us from youasws, so are we sinning?’ So heasws said: ‘No,
recite these as you have learnt them, for there will be coming to you the oneasws who
will teach you (the correct Verses)’.49

‫ على‬،‫ إذا قام قائم آل حممد عليهم السالم ضرب فساطيط ملن يعلم الناس القرآن‬:‫ عن أيب جعفر عليه السالم أنه قال‬،‫روى جابر‬

Jabir reported from Abu Ja’farasws that heasws said: ‘When Al-Qaimasws of the
Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww makes a stand, heasws will teach the Quran to the
people according to what was Revealed by Allahazwj, Majestic is Hisazwj Majesty, so it
would become difficult for the ones who has memorised it today because it would be
different in its composition’.50
