Among the issues which is debated between Shi’i exegetes and some of <br />Sunni exegetes are the references of the verse “Allah, and whosoever hath <br />knowledge of the Scripture, is sufficient witness between me and you”. Shi’i <br />exegetes and some of Sunni exegetes are of the opinion that the reference <br />of this verse is Imam Ali (A.S). On the other hand, some Sunni exegetes think <br />that ‘Abdullah Ibn Salam, Jew and Christian scholars, and “all believers” are <br />three more references of this verse. <br />Studying various views if the Sunni and Shi’i exegetes and analyzing these <br />views, this article has criticized applying the verse to references other than <br />Imam Ali (A.S) and emphasized the claim made by Shi’i exegetes. Hadiths <br />quoted from the Household (A.S), Companions, and Followers who have <br />regarded Imam Ali (A.S) as the only reference of this verse, extent of the <br />Imam’s knowledge, disagreement between applying the verse to other <br />verses on the one hand and historical documents on the other are among <br />objections posed against the view adopted by Sunni exegetes

In Shi’i sources, the following hadith has been quoted from the Infallible <br />Imams: “Do not consider us as god and narrate whatever you want of <br />our virtues”. Though this hadith has been rejected by some schools of <br />thought as a forged one, it has valid chain of narrators and its references <br />correspond to religious standards. This hadith has been narrated in various <br />forms in Shi’i sources and it is referring mainly to two points: first, rejection <br />of extremism; and, the other, explanation of the scope of stations of the <br />Household (A.S). On the one hand, this hadith fights against extremist <br />ideas and, on the other, it mentions the loftiness of the stations of the <br />Infallible Imams. After discussing the content and the chain of narrators of <br />this hadith, the present writing goes to explain its references and provide <br />replies to objections posed against it.

In discussions made by religious intellectuals in the recent years- in spite of <br />the existing debates about this term [religious intellectuals] and diversity of <br />their approaches-, many religious issues including those which fall within <br />the field of particularly Shi’i ideas have been challenged. Apart from certain <br />critiques already posed against these challenges, some prevalent structural <br />weak points in them may be mentioned. <br />One of such points concerns weakness in making references so that it may <br />be said that it is as if necessity of making reference to evidence for claims <br />has been deemed as something marginal or non-necessary and what that <br />is considered as being of importance is to provide some theories within <br />particular frameworks. This methodological defect may lead to very <br />unfavorable consequences.<br />In the present writing, the author makes references to one of such articles <br />and, referring to a debate with the author of that article, he will discuss the <br />above defect.

Belief in Imamate is the cornerstone of Shi‘i thought. Because of this <br />importance and the fact that companions of the Imams (A.S) revealed or <br />concealed some stations and virtues of the Imams (A.S), those who have <br />written about various Shi‘i groups have classified them under numerous <br />sects. ‘Abdullah Ibn AbiYa’fur is one of the greatest companions of Imam <br />Sadiq (A.S) who have narrated many hadiths about issues concerning <br />Imamate. Relying upon some historical reports, some modern authors have <br />tried to regard him as being among moderate Shi‘is who do not believe in <br />Divine stations of the Household (A.S). Because of its historical approach and <br />since it has sufficed to a very small number of reports, this view has been <br />used as an evidence for the claim that Shi‘i beliefs are of an evolutionary <br />nature and there are some ideological disagreements among companions <br />contemporary to the Imams (A.S). The present writing tries to discuss <br />hadithsnarrated by ‘Abdullah Ibn AbiYa’fur and, in this way, find a more <br />accurate idea about “Imamate”. Also, in the present article, the historical <br />methodology used in the above-mentioned writings has been scientifically <br />criticized and challenged.

Imamate as well as perfections and virtues of the Imams (A.S) are among <br />most important ideological issues and have created many encounters in <br />the course of Shi’i history. To get familiar with views of earlier Shi’i scholars <br />and muhaddithun in historical analysis of Shi’is’ ideas is of paramount <br />importance. Ghaza’iri and his son were among great scholars of biographies <br />of scholars of religion (science of rijal). They were familiar with writings of <br />their contemporary Shi’is. For this reason, their views about stations of the <br />Imams (A.S) and the limits of extremism are of importance. Because of the <br />ideas of some of our contemporaries who are of the opinion that most earlier <br />scholars- and in particular Ibn Ghaza’iri- have provided a non-Divine reading <br />of the position of Imamate, this view assumes much more importance. In <br />the present article, relying upon historical evidence, hadiths narrated by <br />Ghaza’iri and the book al-Du‘afa which is ascribed to Ibn Ghaza’iri, the author <br />has shown that Ghaza’iri and Ibn Ghaza’iri believe that Imam is appointed <br />by God and Imams (A.S) enjoy perfections such as infallibility, God-given <br />knowledge, knowledge of the hidden, and extraordinary capabilities. <br />Since no independent work written by them has been handed down to us, <br />perfections such as knowledge of the hidden and the like can be accurately <br />judged; however, they confirmed such perfections and did not consider <br />[belief in] them as extremism.
