The explanation of kitab, the book, is one of the Prophet`s (s) missions mentioned in many verses of the Holy Quran. Some have viewed the word explanation in these verses to mean interpreting the book and removing the ambiguity from its concepts. In this regard, the concepts of the book are concise and ambiguous, and access to its meaning, except in the light of the interpretation of tradition, is not possible. Some also consider the explanation of the book as another interpretation of the Quranic verses. The paper has been based on the presupposition that one, relying on the semantics of the word in the Divine verses, perceives that explanation is not necessarily for the cases of brevity and, therefore, any attempt for comprehensive and exact communication of Quranic verses and keeping them against any distortion and ambiguity would be known as explanation. But explanation is not limited to communicating words, and includes such things as emphasizing the Quranic teachings in various words, describing the words, expressing truths and examples, and giving detailed account of the verses.

Throughput history no text or book like the Quran has ever received the attention of human societies nor has been translated, explained and interpreted. A glimpse of Quranic translations reveals extensive disparity among them. Muslims all over the world have the same Quran with the same text, but they see hundreds of Quranic translations with different contents. Analyzing the causes and grounds of difference in Quranic translations leads us to two major extratextual and intratextual factors. Intratextual factors mean those factors arising from essential and intratextual properties of the Holy Quran, which cause dissimilarity and diversity of Quranic translations. Factors like Mutashabihat, different metaphors such as the application of injunctive sentences meaning as predicative sentences, mentioning an object with its former name, and also different kinds of mujmalat in the Quran like homonyms, the possibility of referring a pronoun to multiple antecedents, the possibility of conjunction or Istinaf in "waw". The impacts of such factors on the dissimilarity of Quran translations arising from its internal properties are unavoidable. Extratextual factors, however, are largely controllable and limitable. In this regard, Quranic translations can be coalesced and prevent content disparity. In addition to classifying internal and external factors of this dissimilarity and their contexts, this paper merely discusses intratextual factors of dissimilarity of Quranic translations due to the discussion extent.

The Collaboration of an explainer with the Holy Qur’an is among theological-Qur’anic sciences discussions. The Holy Qur’an is considered as the most important source of legislation of laws، the only unquestionable axis for all Islamic scholars، both Shiite and Sunni and the book of guidance until the Doomsday. However، to benefit from this book (the Divine guidance)، it requires God to position an explainer by the side of His book of guidance، who explains the Divine’s purposes. “Explanation” in its literal sense means to unfold، reveal and explain. The foundation of the theory of “collaboration of Qur’an and the explainer” accords with the intellect and precept of the intellectuals and the (Qur’an’s) verses and traditions verify it. The right of expressing is reserved for God; but because of its profound meanings and purports، and its great teachings، the only logical way to understand the howness of using it is the Prophet’s sayings and absolute adherence to his example. The necessity of obeying the Prophet (PBUH) and the attribution of the status of explanation and teaching of the Qur’an to him is a clear reason for the need to refer to all his sayings about the Qur’an at every level of expression and decision. Moreover، the Qur’an and traditions in order to describe the explanatory dignity of the Prophet (PBUH) introduce the Pure Imams (A. S) specially the Imam of the Time as the heirs of this status under the following headings: the unshakables in knowledge، the carriers and the owners of the knowledge.
