Abstract

The science of recitation stands as one of the crucial foundations in interpreting the Noble Quran, playing a vital role in elucidating and comprehending the intentions of the Divine. Contemporary Shiite exegetes, considering Ayatollah Ma’refat's theory, regard the recitation of Hafs from Asim as congruent with the recitation of the masses that has been orally transmitted through generations. Consequently, most contemporary exegetes have confined themselves solely to the prevalent recitation. However, a few interpretations have not adhered strictly to the widely known recitation and seem to reject the theory of conformity between Hafs from Asim's recitation and the generally transmitted recitation since the advent of Islam. Hence, these interpretations prefer non-prevalent recitations in certain instances. Among these interpretations, Khosrowi's interpretation stands out. This present study employs a descriptive-analytical method to investigate this matter within Khosrowi's interpretation. The research findings indicate that the place of recitations in Khosrowi's interpretation, regarding frequency, origins, sources, and the functional aspects of recitations concerning expansion, clarification, and resolution of ambiguity in the meaning of verses, is subject to evaluation
