The Qur’anic “qadama ṣidq” (sure footing), which is occurred once in (Q. 10:2), is a good tiding from God that has a completely different structure, albeit in terms of literal form, from the other ones. Indeed, Muslim exegetes have expressed many different viewpoints, and even in some cases contradictory opinions, concerning the phrase in question. For example, one can assess their viewpoint as divine good reward, records, or statures, as well as wilāya (guardianship) and shafāʿa) intercession. (Anyhow, they have never reached a single word about the phrase. Moreover, it seems that most of them have confused its literal meaning with the interpretive one. However, one can ask which one is closer to the divine purpose from the verse? The viewpoints of the Qur’anic exegetes concerning this crucial question have been categorized by the present article, with the documentary-historical method, as well as the descriptive-analytical approach. Then, while analyzing and evaluating the viewpoints, it has explained the reliable ones, with the help of textual and interpretive documents, in two separate sections, namely contextual and narrative. Finally, by stating both rational and narrative reasons, it has expressed the chosen viewpoint. In short, the most significant achievement of the present article is that the two words wilāya and shifāʿa are most consistent with the context of the verses, as well as Islamic narrations. Besides, both religious concepts are mutually attached and have no meaning without each other.
