Also, each verse of the Quran must be explained and interpreted by means of other Quranic verses, not by views which have become acceptable and familiar to us only through habit and custom.

Imam Ali has said:” Some parts of the Quran speak with other parts of it revealing to us their meaning and some parts attest to the meaning of others.” And the Prophet has said,” Parts of the Quran verify other parts.” And also:” Whosoever interprets the Quran according to his own opinion has made a place for himself in the fire.” A simple example of the Quran through the Quran may be cited the story of the torture of the people of Lot about whom in one place God says,” And we rained on them a rain,” and in another place, He has changed this phrase to,” Lo!

We sent a storm of stones upon them (all).” By relating the second verse to the first, it becomes clear that by “rain” is meant “stones” from heaven. Whoever has studied with care the hadiths of the Household of the Prophet, and the outstanding companions who were the followers of the Prophet will have no doubt that the commentary of the Quran through the Quran is the sole method of Quranic commentary taught by the Household of the Prophet.
