سَمِعْتُ رَبِيعَةَ الرَّأْيِ يَقُولُ مِنْ رَأْيِي أَنَّ الْأَقْرَاءَ الَّتِي سَمَّى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي الْقُرْآنِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ الطُّهْرُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ الْحَيْضَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ كَذَبَ لَمْ يَقُلْهُ بِرَأْيِهِ وَ لَكِنَّهُ إِنَّمَا بَلَغَهُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ص فَقُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ أَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ع يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّمَا الْقُرْءُ الطُّهْرُ يَقْرِي فِيهِ الدَّمَ فَيَجْمَعُهُ فَإِذَا جَاءَ الْمَحِيضُ دَفَقَهُ.
English translationMuhammad Sarwar
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah from Zurarah who has said the following: “I heard Rabi‘ al-Ra’iy saying, ‘It is my opinion that al-‘Iqra’ which Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has mentioned in the Quran is nothing but Hayd (menses)-free period between the two Hayd (menses).’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He has spoken a lie. It is not his opinion. In fact it has reached him from Ali (a.s.).’ I then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep you well, did Ali (a.s.), say so?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Al-Qur’ means clean. Blood stops coming out and accumulates. During Hayd (menses) it is pushed out.’” (Al-Qur’ means accumulates and Hayd means flows).

[1]الحيض في اللغة بمعنى السيلان و القرء بمعنى الجمع. و لما كان الدم في أيّام الطهر ساكنا غير سيال و يجمع الرحم هذا الدم و يدفقه في زمان الحيض سمى حيضا فظهر عدم اشتراك القرء في الحيض و الطهر فاستعمال القرء بمعنى الحيض مجاز.ص 89
