Now let us see what Ahlul Bayt have said about the excellence of Qur’an: Allama Majlisi in volume 19 of his multivolume work Bihar al-Anwar has reported that : Al-Harith al-Hamadani related the following: “I entered the mosque and some persons were in deep controversy about some hadith traditions.

I went to ‘‘Ali bin Abi Talib and said: ‘Are you aware that people at the mosque are in dispute over hadith?’ He said, ‘So they have done it!’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He (as) said, ‘I have indeed heard from the Prophet (S) saying, “There shall be sedition (fitna) after me.”’ I asked: ‘How do we avoid that?’ He (the Prophet, saw) said: ‘The Book of God, the Book of God.  In it is the information about those who were before you and what will come after you, and it will be the judge among you.

 It is the final decision and not a jest. (86:13-14)  It is that which not even the might could forsake without being shattered by God.  Whoever seeks guidance in anything other than it, God will lead him astray.  It is the firm rope of God.  It is the wise remembrance (3:58).  It is the straight path.  With it, hearts will never deviate, nor will the tongues utter confusion.

 Scholars will never have their full of it; it will not wear out from constant use, nor will its wonders be exhausted.  It is that which when the jinns heard it, they could not help saying: ‘We heard a marvelous Qur’an (recitation). (7:21) ’  Whoever utters it speaks the truth, whoever rules by it is just; whoever abides by it will receive his just reward; and whoever calls for it shall be guided to the straight path.

Follow it.” Imam ‘Ali Describes the Holy Qur’an In another place, the Commander of the Faithful ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib describes the Holy Qur’an as follows: “Then God revealed to him (the Prophet [S]) the Book.

 It is a light whose radiance shall not be extinguished;  A lamp whose flame shall not die;  An ocean whose depth shall not be fathomed;  A path which shall not lead astray;  A blaze whose brilliance shall not be darkened;  A criterion whose evidence shall not be suppressed;  An elucidation whose cornerstones shall not be demolished;  A cure with which there is no fear of ailments;  A power whose supporters cannot be defeated;  A truth whose helpers will not be forsaken.
