Tafsir Bil Ray

Chapter On those who interpret The Quran according to their own opinion.

Zurara narrated from Imam Abu Jafar as Who said:Nothing is further from mans understanding than the interpretation of The Quran. The beginning of a verse may refer to one thing, its middle to another and its end to something else. Then he recited {God wishes to keep uncleanliness away from you, people of the household, and to purify you thoroughly} from the onset of paganism.

Abi Raja from Abi Ja’far (as) who said: say what you know and if you do not know then say: “Allāh is more knowing”, a man selectively picks out a verse from the Qur’an and falls in it (misinterpreting it) a farther distance than what is between the earth and the sky.
