The composition of "Asāṭīr al-Awwalīn" is found in nine verses of Qur'an. Disagreement between commentators under these verses is more and less rooted in understanding of "Asāṭīr" word. The purpose of this study is to investigate the disagreement in views in understanding the meaning of this word and etymology of it through its semantic components.Study background in the meaning and origin of this word goes back to the 3rd century (AH.) and the interpretation of Juvaiber. Among the researches related to the Quran, Arthur Jeffery, Rosenthal and other researchers have also addressed it.For this purpose, the meaning presented in the commentary sources, vocabularies and Qur`anic vocabularies have been separated and chronologically compared in order to identify their interaction and mutual influence.This study has found that the old vocabulary sources have been influenced by the commentary view and Quranic usage in presenting the meaning of this word instead of presenting the meaning based on the use in the Arabic language or the language from which this word was transferred to Arabic, they represented in range of their commentary view in these verses it's Quranic examples. Also, contemporary vocabulary affected by discussions and disagreements in contemporary literature commentary about this word and its related discussions, avoid from presenting explicit and clear meaning of it.Finally, this study suggests "continuous and successively placing or cutting, cleave and making same size or drawing straight line" for root meaning of "Satr" which is compatible with several words related to it.

The publication of Seyyed Mohsen Amin Ameli's book refuting the beliefs of Wahhabis and explaining their history, called "Kashf al-Ertiyab", caused Wahhabis and their followers to publish numerous articles and books in response to "Keshf al-Ertiyab". One of these books, which Allameh Amini responded to some of the accusations against the Shiites in the 3rd volume of Al-Ghadir, is a book titled "The Conflict between Islam and Al-Vathaniya (Panganism)" written by Abdullah Qasimi, which in two volumes accuses the Shiites and their beliefs and defends the Wahhabis of Najd and the Salafi religion. This article introduces this book, its publication history, its author, and some examples of its contents.

The composition "Asāṭīr al-Awwalīn" is repeated 9 times in Qur'an (6:25, 8:31, 16:24, 23:83, 25:5, 27:68, 46:17, 68:15, 83:13). In 23, 27 and 46 it points to superstition and doctrine of the resurrection. In 5 verses it is understood in 3 meanings: 1- the (invalid) words and writings by the former (generations), 2- mythical stories, and 3- superstition and myth. In the remaining case, verse 68, most of the commentators only express the literal meaning. The above three meanings are based on narrations. Based on those, this phrase is an accusation of denying divine revelation, in opposition to the Qur'an and response to the Tahaddi. But Qur'anic verses about the ancients are not similar to the stories of Rostam and Esfandiar. A critical analysis shows that the part of the narration which introduces it as the descent affair of these verses is probably not part of the text and is the narrator's interpretation because it is equal to the simplicity of challenge. This allegation is against Qur'anic quotes on this subject from associators. Although it is claimed that the narrations cited refer to all the cases of the "Asāṭīr al-Awwalīn", it conflicts with some verses and only the following verses have been used that the meaning has been ambiguous. This paper shows evidence that it refers to the promise of resurrection, exodus, and publication in the writings of the ancients, including the books of Jews and Christians and other divine religions, the Avesta, and the writings of the Copts, Indians, Greeks, etc.
