Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar from abu Basir from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Holy Quran came in four parts: One fourth is about us () one fourth about our enemies, one about traditions and axioms and one fourth about obligations and laws.” وثق - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (2/517))
