Abstract
The prophets’ inheritance is one of important Qur’anic issues. Thus, the present study aims to critically analyze the viewpoint of Yusuf She’ar on this issue according to the 16th verse of the Holy Surah an-Naml, as well as his interpretation of Fatimah Zahra’s reference to that verse in the sermon of Fadakia. Contrary to Shi’ite commentators who believe that the term “legacy” in the abovementioned verse refers to “property” and “rights”, Yusuf She’ar attribute that to “knowledge and prophecy” and accordingly interprets the reference to the aforementioned verse by Fatimah Zahra in the sermon of Fadak at the presence of the Prophet’s companions as an accusation. Therefore, the present research relying on the meaning and context of the verses and with reference to the exegetical and theological views of commentators and theologians has critically analyzed the ideas of Yusuf She’ar. The results of the study show that his reference to the Qur’anic verses is a conceptual fallacy, and his citation to the verse “Prophets do have any hairs” is perceived as a verdict mistake.
