3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Muhammad from al-Hajjal from Ali ibn ‘Aqabah from Dawud ibn Farqad from those whom he has mentioned (in his book) from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: ‘‘The Holy Quran came in four parts: One fourth is about lawful matters, one fourth about unlawful matters, one fourth about traditions and laws and one fourth about the news of what was before you and what will be after you and ways to settle your disputes.”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
