وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ

“We have certainly given you the seven duals, and the glorious Quran”

A person asked Imam Sadiq (as) about above verse The Imam (as) replied, The outer meaning of “the seven duals” is the Chapter of Hamd but the inner meaning refers to the children of the children and the last one is the Qaem (as) (The scholar, Fayz Al-Kashani says This verse refers to the fourteen infallibles, for the verse indicates “seven duals which means fourteen.”) (Tafseer Ayyashi volume 2 page 249)


Imam Baqir (as) said, “The seven” refers to the seven (names) of the infallibles and (the last one is) the Qaem (as) (The scholar, Fayz Al-Kashani says These are the seven names of the fourteen infallibles – Mohammed, Ali, Fatemah, Hasan, Husain, Jafar and Musa (as)) (Tafseer Ayyashi volume 2 page 249)
