In this regard, by analyzing <br />the verses, “the family of hadiths of the Enlightenment of Imam” has <br />been documented in groups. The tradition of the God in the granting <br />of the sciences to the previous messengers has been examined, so long <br />as this tradition about them is fixed in an incremental way, it is also <br />hypothised to be true about Khatam-Al-Anbia and his family. Also, the <br />verses directly referring to “The Enlightenment of the Imams (AS)” are <br />also reviewed. The findings show that, although the Enlightenment of <br />the Imams is not mentioned in the Quran, there is some evidence in <br />Quran which confirms this hadith belief. Even the details of Imamiyya <br />thoughts can be proved to be true by the Quran.

In this regard, the purpose of this study is to investigate the confrontation between the Tabarra and the Taqiyah and its results based on verses and narrations. The results indicate that although Tabarra and Taqiyah have two different perspectives, they do not confront each other, but complement each other's activities in preserving, promoting and promoting religion. Tabarra and Taqiyah are two doctrines that are in harmony with each other and for the attainment of a single goal at the lowest cost, but the way believers behave depends on social conditions in any time. The believers have to properly evaluate the conditions and subsequently, selection of a proper behavior in accordance with existing conditions. This positioning can prevent the surrendering of wisdom and insistence on a clear Tabarra in all circumstances, as well as the fear and expression of untimely weakness, as Taqiyah, and unites the believers of every age to take advantage of the most effective method of religion.Tabarra and Taqiyah are the two accepted teachings of the Imamiyya, which begin from the domains of belief and ends in the behavioral aspect; these two teachings have two different results, and lead the Shiites of Imami into opposite direction.

The present research tries to resolve the interpretive differences of the Surah “Al-Adiyat”. To this end, according to the interpretations and other sources of the Shiite and the Sunni who reported this incident, we studied the words and resolved the narratives’ conflict regarding the cause behind surrendering of this Sura. Using a descriptive-analytical method, this paper performs a comparative study of the interpretations of the Shiite and the Sunni to examine the perspectives on the use of the term "Adiyat" and to seek solutions to the conflict between the narratives of the Sunni people in the context of the cause behind surrendering of the Surah Al-Adiyat, and the elimination of the difference in historical sources of the Shiite and the Sunni in explaining "Ghazw of Zatol-Salasel". The results show that, as for the meaning of the term "Adiyat" the commentators have presented four probabilities: Hajjis’ camels, horses in general, army horse, and horses in a special jihad. The fourth theory is consistent with both atmosphere and context, and rhetorical and statement interpretation of the Sura, and as well as with the literary principles and terminology of the words "Dhabihah" and "Ghadah", as well as with the narratives behind surrendering of this Sura. The surah al- Adiyat has been surrendered in Medina after the Muslim’s Jihad, led by Imam Ali (AS) and their victory in the Ghazw of "Zatol-Salasel". Since before the surrendering of the Sura, something important was threatening the Prophet (PBUH), and three of the Sahabah did not succeed in delivering the necessary results in defeating the enemies, this is considered to be a Meccan sura so keep some certain truth hidden. The narratives behind surrendering of this Sura in Sunni sources have been questioned due to the many anxieties and conflicts and lack of harmony with the words and atmosphere of the surah, and the shortcomings of their historical sources have been explained in the description of the "Ghazw of Zatol-Salasel."
