The root for differing Shiite and Sunnite interpretations of Ekmal verse (3 - Maedeh) is two things: the cause of revelation and the indication of day to which the word "al-yaom" (this day) refers. Considering the meaning of the verse, along with the conditions of revelation and teachings of the hadith, the shia have regarded "the declaration of the supreme leadership of Imam Ali" as the cause for its revelation, on which they have consensus. On the other hand, The Sunni have dispute on interpreting different segments of the verse and have suggested various possibilities for its commentary, none of which have been justified. The main cause for the -Sunni's disagreement with the Shia is on the authenticity of the traditions which identify Gadir Khum as the place and imamate as the cause for its revelation. Among the Sunni critics it is only Fakhr Razi who has assessed Shia's view, based on text analysis regardless of the traditions. In our view this critique - which was never taken into account - is due to Razi’s misunderstanding of Shias argument.
