A Mystical Interpretation of Verse 107 of the Sura al-Saffat: "And We prepared a great sacrifice for him"

Many Quranic verses have both apparent and metaphorical meanings. Some of such metaphorical meanings come from the exegeses produced by the Infallible Imams. From this perspective, what can be the deep meaning of the Quranic verse "And We have prepared a grat sacrifice for him"? Research into Quranic i terpretations prove that it refers to Imam al-Husayn in that he was the greatest sacrifice of Abraham's progeny. This outlook is asserted in an exegesis of the verse as highlighted by the 8th Infallible Imam Ali al-Reza, as quoted verbatim in early snd authoritative Shiite sources.
