A Comparative Study of the Quran's Words Meaning in Emimate Traditions and Dictionaries

To find the meaning of Holy Quran's words, the researchers in the field of Quran have used different sources including the prophet and Imam's traditions as well as dictionaries. Lexicologists have also considered the traditions as an invaluable source and in some cases, to assert their views, have referred to the traditions. Although using the Quranic verses and traditions leads to the enrichment of the dictionaries, it may result in this belief that such dictionaries in their own can meet the user' needs without referring to the traditions. In this paper, presenting some instances which have been neglected in the Quranic researches might be revealing. The importance of this research on the one hand is the introduction of such traditions as a trusted source and on the other hand it insists on this fact that the dictionaries do not suffice. To prove this issue and to reveal the possible relationships between the dictionaries and the traditions, some instances are presented through a descriptive-analytic way.
