Abstract

Many of Imams’ exegetical traditions are not about Quranic interpretation, but are about its comparison with some Aya’s applicability. This is while inseparability of these traditions in comparison with traditions that interpret ayas, created false assumptions about shia. Importance of isolating these traditions shows the necessity of this study that is about types of exegetical traditions of Imam Sajad in concerning the applicability of Ayas.
In this study, after extracting Imam Sajad’s exegetical traditions from the most authoritative traditional commentaries of shia including Bihar al-anvar, It has been tried to survey certain types of these traditions for explanation Ayas’ applicability.
It has been specified this study that exegetical traditions of Imam Sajad in concerning the applicability of Ayas generally consists of traditions that determine manifest and non-manifest application the first of which in its turn is divided into complete, most complete and general applications.
The main factor for this type of interpretation is that Imam Sajad chose "Taghiyah" policy because of conditions in his epoch, but this policy didn't cause him to neglect to declare the legitimacy and high standing of the Prophet’s Household.
One of his methods of showing this legitimacy is the adjustment of the Quran’s Ayas with his own and the Prophet’s Household contemporary conditions.
