Abstract

< p >Exegetes declare different interpretive meanings about the type of two concepts of “sā’iq” and “shahīd” in the verse “wa jā’at kullu nafsen maahā sā’iqun wa shahīd” (Qāf: 21) and about the addressees of the verse “alqīyā fī jahannama kulla kaffārin ‘anīd” (Qāf: 24). Most exegetes believe that these concepts refer to two angels, one of them leads human soul to his resurrection place and the other attests to his deeds. Also both angles put every rebel disbeliever into the Hell. To approve their idea, they resort some literary justification and interpretive narrations. However, beside of clear defects in sanad and implication of narrative documentations of famous view and context insufficiencies in approving this meaning, such concept is rarely acceptable as such it conflicts other Qur’an verses. Based on a systematic attitude to the application of these two concepts at the Qur’anic semantic system, the context unity and syntagmatic relations, it is deducted that these verses remark one of the dignity attributes of the Prophet (PBUH) and the Successor, regarding the wickedness of disbelievers and their entrance to the Hell. This meaning is also supported by the Infallibles’ (AS) exegetical narrations.
