چکیده:
Aḥmad Ṣubḥī Manṣūr is a contemporary Egyptian researcher who has been considered by some as the spiritual leader of the Qur’ānists in that country. Relying on the Qur’ān, he tries to introduce this divine book as the only source of legislation and prove the non-authoritativeness of the Sunna. Referring to the verses that seemingly consider God and the Qur’ān to be enough for the human, deem the Qur’ān as expressing everything, and regard the Prophet of Islam (s) seemingly indifferent to Sharī‘a, and claiming that Ḥadīth is oral, he questions the authoritativeness of the Prophet’s (s) sunna. In his references to the foregoing verses he does not take into account the linguistic context, ignores some of the verses that introduce the responsibility of the Prophet (s) to explain the Qur’ān and those that introduce the Prophet (s) as the best role model as well as the ambiguous (mutashābih) and inconclusive (mujmal) verses, and tries to justify some of these verses. The Qur’ān considers the Prophet (s) free from any vice, and provided that some conditions are met, deems a solitary narration as authoritative, let alone the authentic traditions. In order to prove his claims, Ṣubḥī Manṣūr ignores all these evident reasons.

Since the principles of this movement – such as the detailed comprehensiveness of the qur’ānic truths, the rejection of vagueness in religious teachings in the light of the possibility and permissibility of reflection in the Qur’ān, and the rejection of the role of sunna in knowing religion due to reasons such as the consideration of traditions as non-divine, polytheistic, speculative and alterable, limited to time, aiming at disunity, and impossible to truly assign to the Prophet (s), can lead to the expansion of a negative view to sunna as well as a tendency to the personal interpretation of the meaning and significations of the verses.
The theorists of this movement have paved the way for personal interpretation of the qur’ānic verses through their rejection of the role of sunna in understanding and interpreting the Qur’ān which stems from their view that Ḥadīth is not authoritative and cannot be attributed to the Prophet (s).
‘Allāmah, too, takes the verse as general and believes that it includes the Qur’ān and the words of the Prophet (s) (Ṭabāṭabā’ī, 1997, vol.
