Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ’Urama from Ali ibn Hassa’n from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Kathir from abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious.

“It is God who has revealed the Book to you in which some verses are clear statements (which accept no interpretation) and these are the fundamental ideas of the Book,-they stand for Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.) and the Imams- while other verses may have several possibilities-they stand for so and so-.

Those whose hearts are perverse-their companions and followers-, follow the unclear statements in pursuit of their own mischievous goals by interpreting them in a way that will suit their own purpose.

No one knows its true interpretations except God and those who have a firm grounding in knowledge-such people are Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.) and the Imams-..” (3:7),.” يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi) ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (5/18))
