The son -asws of Abu Talib -as 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’. قال: فبلغه ذلك، فقال: «ويل لهم، إني لأعرف ناسخه من منسوخه، و محكمه من متشابهه، و فصله من فصاله، و حروفه من معانيه. و الله ما من حرف نزل على محمد (صلى الله عليه و آله) إلا أني أعرف فيمن نزل، و في أي يوم، و في أي موضع. He (Al-Asbagh) said, ‘That reached him -asws , so he -asws said: ‘Woe be unto them!

I -asws recognise its Abrogating (Verses) from its Abrogated (Verses), and its Decisive from its Allegorical, and its Separated from its Joint, and its Letters from its Meanings. By Allah -azwj ! There is no letter which was Revealed unto Muhammad -saww except that I -asws recognise regarding who it was Revealed, and in which day, and in which place.

But they are reciting “Most surely this is in the earlier Scriptures [87:18] The Scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa” [87:19] . By Allah -azwj ! These are in my -asws possession, and I -asws inherited these two from Rasool-Allah -saww , and Rasool-Allah -saww handed over to me -asws the Scriptures of Ibrahim -as and Musa -as . Woe be unto them! By Allah -azwj , I -asws am the one about whom Allah -azwj Revealed: “and that the retaining ear would retain it” [69:12] .

But rather, we used to be in the presence of Rasool-Allah -saww , so he -saww would inform us by the Revelation, and I 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] . [45] عن السكوني، عن جعفر، عن أبيه، عن جده، عن أبيه (عليهم السلام)، قال: قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله): «إن فيكم من يقاتل على تأويل القرآن- كما قاتلت على تنزيله- و هو علي بن أبي طالب (عليه السلام)».
