چکیده:
The verse 43 of Surah An-Nahl has been revealed about the scientific authority of the Ahl al-Bayt (a). Shiite and Sunni commentators disagree on the meaning of "Ahl al-Dhikr". Based on the context of the verse, a group of Sunni commentators consider the example of "Ahl al-Dhikr" to be the People of the Book. This view has been studied. Shiite commentators and some Sunni commentators, based on the narrations, consider the Ahl al-Bayt (a) as the perfect example of "Ahl al-Dhikr". This article, considering the ground in which the verse revealed and quoting the narrations, intends to analyze and study this issue based on the semantics of "Ahl al-Dhikr". The result of the research is that Ahl al-Dhikr means scholars and knowledgeable people. At the time of the revelation of the verse, the People of the Book and other knowledgeable people can be one of the examples of Ahl al-Dhikr; But Ahl al-Bayt (a) are its perfect example forever.
خلاصه ماشینی:
(Shahidi, 1374: 9) Muslim people have the duty to refer to the Ahl al-Bayt^ for understanding the divine verses and knowing the rulings of religion; because they are the interpreters of the Quran, the proofs of God, and the treasurers of divine knowledge.
(Kulayni, 1407: 1 / 192) This writing intends to reach the conclusion, based on the interpretation of the verse of "Ahl al-Dhikr," that "Ahl al-Dhikr" means the scholars and the knowledgeable ones, and their clear and perfect embodiment is the Ahl al-Bayt^; consequently, the Ahl al-Bayt^ are considered the scientific authority for Muslims after the Prophet|.
The Occasion of Revelation of the Verse of Ahl al-Dhikr Amin al-Islam al-Tabarsi says: This verse is in response to the polytheists of Mecca who denied human messengership; therefore, Almighty God announces to them that the Messenger must be of the same kind as the people, so that people may see him and converse with him and understand his speech.
Taking this into account, the intended meaning of "Ahl al-Dhikr" at the time of the verse's revelation is all individuals aware of the history and life of past prophets, which also includes non-People of the Book.
Many Quranic commentators hold that the intended meaning of "Ahl al-Dhikr" in this verse is the scholars of Judaism and Christianity; because the verse asks the polytheists that if you have doubts about the humanity of previous prophets, refer to the scholars of the People of the Book.
