35-7 Al-Hakim Abu Ali Al-Husayn ibn Ahmad al-Bayhaqi narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Sowli quoted on the authority of Muhammadibn Musa al-Razi, on the authority of his father that one day Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) mentioned the Qur’an and talked about the greatness of the proofs in it, its verses and the miracle in its order and said, “
It is God’s Strong Rope. It is the Reliable Grip. It is the ideal way. It guides you to Heaven, and saves you from the Fire. It will not age as time goes by. It will not lose its value in different languages, since it has not been revealed for a specific era of time. It is established as the proof of reasoning. And it is a proof for all mankind. ‘No falsehood can approach it from before or behind it: It is sent down by One Full of Wisdom, Worthy of all Praise.’”
7 - حَدَّثَنا الْحاكِم أَبُو عَلِي الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أحْمَدالْبِيْهَقِيُّ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الصُّوْليُ‏حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى الرَّازِيُّ قالَ حَدَّثَني أَبي قالَ
ذَكَرَ الرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ يَوْمـاًالْقُرْآنَ فَعَظَّمَ الْحُجَّةَ فِيهِ وَالآْيَةَ الْمُعْجِزَةَ فِي نَظْمِهِ فَقَالَ هُوَ حَبْلُ اللَّهِ الْمَتِينُ وَعُرْوَتُهُ الْوُثْقَى وَطَرِيقَتُهُ الْمُثْلَى الْمُؤَدِّي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَالْمُنْجِي مِنَ النَّارِ لا يَخْلُقُ مِنَ الأَزْمِنَةِ وَلا يَغِثُّ عَلَى الأَلْسِنَةِ لانَّهُ لَمْ يُجْعَلْ لِزَمَانٍ دُونَ زَمَانٍ بَلْ جُعِلَ دَلِيلَ الْبُرْهَانِ وَحُجَّةً عَلَى كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ لا يَأْتِيهِ الْباطِلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَلا مِنْ خَلْفِهِ تَنْزِيلٌ مِنْ حَكِيمٍ حَمِيدٍ.
