The legal Status of the Verdicts and Sayings of the Prophet’s Companions in the Interpretation of the Qur‘ān A Research-Oriented Study
Abstract
The Qur‘ān is the book of guidance and the best explanation of the Qur‘ān is the interpretation made by Allah Himself at different places in the Qur‘ān. The Prophet (peace be upon him) also explained and interpreted the verses and he also taught the wisdom and knowledge of the Qur‘ān to his companions and they further asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) the description of several verses time to time. Hence, the most reliable interpretation of the Qur‘ān is the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the lifestyle of the companions (Mathorah). Therefore, if some part of the Qur‘ān seems difficult enough to understand and has no clue from Qur‘ān and Sunnah, then it is mandatory to turn to the explanation of the companions as they knew the time and context in which a particular verse was revealed and the ancient literature, culture, norms and perfect grammatical structure too. This article discusses the importance of the Quranic interpretation by the companions with in-depth research of its respective aspects. Moreover, the researcher also presented a significant discussion on the difference between Interpretation by the companions and their sayings (their jurisprudence). Arguments of the prominent scholars are included in the article to support the viewpoint. The article concludes itself with some summarized points of the whole discussion. Scholars of Quranic studies need to have a clear and distinct understanding of Quranic interpretations and the juristic statements of the companions. This article is highly worthwhile in this subject.
