Tafsīr (تفسير)

Interpretation of the Holy Quran

وَلَا يَأْتُونَكَ بِمَثَلٍ إِلَّا جِئْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَحْسَنَ تَفْسِيرًا {33}

And they cannot come to you with an example except We will Come with the Truth (Haq) and the best interpretation [25:33]

عن أبي بصير، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام)، قال: مَنْ‏ فَسَّرَ الْقُرْآنَ‏ بِرَأْيِهِ‏ فَأَصَابَ لَمْ يُؤْجَرْ وَ إِنْ أَخْطَأَ كَانَ إِثْمُهُ عَلَيْه‏

From Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The one who interprets the Quran by his opinion, if he gets it right, he would not be Recompensed, and if he errs, so he would be more remote (from the truth) than the sky is’.[1]

عن القاسم بن سليمان، عن أبي عبدالله (عليه السلام)، قال: قال أبي (عليه السلام): مَا ضَرَبَ‏ رَجُلٌ‏ الْقُرْآنَ‏ بَعْضَهُ‏ بِبَعْضٍ‏ إِلَّا كَفَر

From Al Qasim Bin Suleyman,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘My-asws father-asws said: ‘A man will not strike the Quran, part of it with a part (explaining one Verse by the other), except he has disbelieved’’.[2]
