Clarification In The Context Of Quran 5:67 And Ghadir-e-Khum
Most of the Tafseeri literature is not authentic. It does not matter who mentions it. Imam Ahmad bin Hanbl rightly said that Tafseeri literature carries no weight. A Tafseeri tradition has to be conformed to the content and context of the Qur’an. The verses of the Qur’an do not need appointment of Ali to be his successor here. The verses are dealing with the announcement of the completion of shariah and Deen. The matter of appointment of a successor has nothing to do with the content of Deen.
