Investigating of Tradition Utilization from Linguistic Knowledge in Interpreting of the Quran (A case study of Basmallah Verse in al-Burhān and Nūr al-Thaqalayn)

Searching the interpretive views of the Ahl e-Bayt provides the ground for explaining the necessity and contribution of each basic knowledge in the interpretation of the Qur'an. Linguistic knowledge (including vocabulary, syntax, and rhetoric) is mong these necessary prerequisites for understanding the Qur'an. The present article tries to examine and analyze the interpretive approach of Prophet's family as the closest to the origin of revelation from the perspective of linguistic knowledge by re-reading the effective interpretations under Bismillah verse at the beginning of Surah Al-Fatihah and also in An-Naml Surah. This article studies the types of interpretive narrations of Bismillah verse based on the Shiite interpretations of Al-Burhan and Noor al-Thaqalin by the library method, and the documentary method in narrating the narrations, and the descriptive analytical method in evaluating the data. Findings show that a significant percentage of Ahl al-Bayt narrations are devoted to lexical issues and explanation of words, and only a small share of interpretive narrations are devoted to the categories of grammar and rhetoric.
