Contradiction of the Verses and Traditions with the Supposition that the Words of the Qur’ān are Created by the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.)
Journal Title: رهیافتهایی در علوم قرآن و حدیث - Year 2009, Vol 41, Issue 83
Abstract
The tenor of the Qur'ānic verses and the Imam (A.S.)'s traditions suggest that the holy Prophet (S.A.W.) has been quite passive in receiving the Divine Revelation and is regarded as being trustworthy to God in receiving and conveying His Words. Thus, both the verses and the traditions are unanimous in confirming the revelation of the words and meanings of the Qur'ān to the last of the Divine Messengers, implying that the supposition of the holy Prophet (S.A.W.)'s interference with the creation of the words of the Qur'ān overtly contradicts the verses and traditions. What endorse this view are as follows: consideration of the two distinct propagative and explicatory status of the holy Prophet (S.A.W.); the verses that consider the Holy Qur'ān as revealed in Arabic language and express it as the "Word of Allah"; the verses that talk about the reading and recitation of the Qur'ān to the holy Prophet (S.A.W.); the verses that distinguish the Word of Allah from the word of the Messenger and at the same time give validity to both; the verses that indicate the Qur'ān as being revealed by these same extant words; the verses that views the speech of the Revelation angel as a tool for conveying the Qur'ānic verses to the Prophet (S.A.W.); and the traditions that consider the Qur'ān, Divine traditions (ḥadīth qudsī), and Prophetic traditions as having independent identity.
