Shia scholar sums up Shia Tafseer

[Hani]

al-Salamu `Aleykum,


The Shia scholar al-Sayyid al-`Allamah Hashim Ma`rouf al-Husayni, he discusses the narrations in al-Kafi which mention that there are verses referring to the 12 Imams, he wrote in his book "Dirasat fil-Hadeeth wal-Muhadditheen" pg.314:


وقد أورد في الكافي نحوا من اثنين وتسعين رواية تتضمن تفسير أكثر من مئة آية بعلي والأئمة من ولده ( ع ) وأكثرها بعيدة عن مداليل الألفاظ وأسلوب القرآن


[He (al-Kulayni) has included in al-Kafi around ninety two narrations, containing the interpretation(Tafseer) of more than a hundred verses as referring to `Ali and the Imams (as), and most of these interpretations are very far from the apparent wording and the method of the Qur'an.
An example from this kind of narration, is what he narrated from `Ali bin Muhammad, from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin `Abdullah regarding the verse:
{I swear by this city, [Makkah] - (1) And you, [O Muhammad], are free of restriction in this city - (2) And [by] the father and that which was born [of him], (3) We have certainly created man into hardship. (4)}
He said: "The father and what was born of him" is `Ali and his children the Imams (as) who are born from his progeny.]


This sect fails when it comes to anything remotely related to the book of Allah.
