validity of appearances of qur’anic verses from akhbaris’ viewpoint

as a branch of shi‘a jurists, akhbaris disagree theirmajority on the validity of some sources of inferring aswell as ways of understanding divine precepts, amongwhich being discrediting ordinary people’s (i.e., other thanthe infallible-innocent personalities’) understanding ofappearances of the qur’an. their opinion is based on twobases: hadiths they claim they are massively reported andare apparent in the lack of authority of appearances of thequr’an, and occurrence of restriction and qualification aswell as figurative usage in the appearances of majority ofqur’anic verses in such a way that they discredits them.contemplation upon works and views of akhbaris,however, indicates that such opinion is not held by all ofthem. on the contrary, they believe in the priority of thebook over other proofs as well as necessity of conformityof other proofs with the book; and this is the best proofthat majority of akhbaris, like usulis, believe in thepriority of appearances of the qur’an before considerationof hadiths. the present essay attempts to gather andcriticize all akhbaris’ proofs in this connection.
