What the Hadiths of Ahlulbayt (a) says about verse 3:7

[InvestigateTruth]

The Hadiths don’t say what you’re saying though. It says none of the 7 meanings contradict the apparent meaning.

If that was the intention, then, what do you say about the interpretation of the "Stars", in the Surah that you mentioned, means "Imams"? Could that verse also mean apparent Stars?

Or in Surrah Joseph, the dream about 11 stars. It became known later that, it meant Joseph Brothess. Can that mean, literally Stars?


I was refering to these Hadithes:

A hadith attributed to Muhammad is essential in understanding the inward aspects of the Quran, and it is fundamental to Quranic exegesis:[10]

"The Quran possesses an external appearance and a hidden depth, an exoteric meaning and an esoteric meaning. This esoteric meaning in turn conceals an esoteric meaning so it goes on for seven esoteric meanings (seven depths of hidden depth)."
There is a statement made by the Imam, Jafar Sadiq (d. 765 CE):[10]

"The book of God comprises four things: the statement set down, the allusions, the hidden meanings relating to the supra-sensible world, and the exalted spiritual doctrines. The literal statement is for the ordinary believers. The allusions are the concern of the elite. The hidden meanings pertain to the friends of God. The exalted spiritual doctrines are the province of the prophets."

The apparent can be a parable. For example, the light verse in Surah Noor. That is obviously not literal physical light. It would be unclear to see it as physical light. The clear meaning is obviously a spiritual type luminosity.

In Surah Hijr, the context clearly provides that the stars are spiritual because it's talking about if disbelievers would be ascending through door of heaven and saying their visions are intoxicated. This gives it's context.

Yes I'm talking about those hadiths, both of them the one from Mohammad (s) and Imam Jaffar (a), that both of them say none of the hidden meanings contradict the apparent meaning. I don't know why they left that part out but go check the original Arabic sources and you will see that.
