No One Has the Right to Interpret the Book of Allah Contrary to the Way It Was Explained by His Messenger - Sheikh Abd al-Aziz bin Baz

 Scroll down for English!⬇️

ليس لأحد أن يفسر كتاب الله بخلاف ما فسره به رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم

قال الإمام عبدالعزيز بن عبدالله بن باز -رحمه الله-:ليس لأحد من الناس أن يفسر كتاب الله بما يخالف ما فسره به رسول الله ﷺ، أو فسره به أصحابه رضي الله عنهم، أو أجمع عليه المسلمون، لأن الرسول ﷺ هو أعلم الناس بتفسير كتاب الله، وأنصحهم لله ولعباده. وهكذا أصحابه رضي الله عنهم، هم أعلم الناس بعد رسول الله ﷺ بتفسير كتاب الله عز وجل، كما أنهم أعلم الناس بسنته، وهم أنصح الناس للناس بعد الأنبياء.

No One Has the Right to Interpret the Book of Allah Contrary to the Way It Was Explained by His Messenger (peace be upon him)

Imam Abdulaziz bin Abdullah bin Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one among the people has the right to interpret the Book of Allah in a way that contradicts the interpretation provided by the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), or the consensus of the Muslims. This is because the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) is the most knowledgeable about the interpretation of the Book of Allah and the most sincere in his advice to Allah and His servants. Similarly, his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) are the most knowledgeable people after the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) in interpreting the Book of Allah, just as they are the most knowledgeable about his Sunnah and the most sincere to the people after the Prophets."
