Abstract

The interpretation of “Bian al-Sa’adah” is one of the most important and complete Shia mystical interpretations, which can be discussed in terms of theological, jurisprudential and social issues despite the mystical approach. The question is, how have mystical interpretations such as the expression of happiness dealt with the science of readings? In other words, the significant issue is whether the science of readings can be related to the mystical approach of the commentator. The current research has evaluated the position and function of the issue of readings in the interpretation of the expression of happiness with the descriptive-analytical method. The results of the research indicate: that the position of recitations in Gonabadi’s viewpoint has a significant place compared to his contemporary commentators, in such a way that he has shown special attention to the discussion of recitations and his intellectual origin is the origin of a method with a non-hadith approach. In the discussion of recitations, Gonabadi sometimes prefers famous and sometimes non-famous recitations in terms of their compatibility with the context of the verses, narrative preferences, and semantic explanation; sometimes he paid attention to both readings and left the judgment between them. The function of readings in the interpretation of this work can be presented around three subjects: a) expansion and development in the meaning of the verse; b) explaining the meaning of the verse; c) clearing the ambiguity of the meaning of the verse. Of course, the commentator’s mystical approach has not had any effect on the discussion of readings.
