بررسی و نقد رویکرد مفسران دربارۀ جدال ابراهیم در آیۀ ۷۴ سورۀ هود.

Verse 74 of the Chapter of Hud reports Abraham’s argument with God regarding the People of Lot. There are detailed dialogues among Sunni and Shiite exegetes and even their theologians relating to this topic and questions have also been raised in this regard; questions that have challenged the infallibility of Abraham (peace be upon him) specifically and prophets in general. Some have considered the subject of argument to be the person of Lot (peace be upon him) and others the People of Lot. A group believes that Abraham’s argument was an inquiry and probe and some believe that it was an argument meant to be an intercession. After enumerating the different views regarding Abraham’s argument with God, the present paper describes and critiques the views of Shiite and Sunni exegetes regarding this subject through a critical analytic method based on Quranic teachings. Considering the compassionate character of Abraham reflected in the Quran, it seems that the concept of argument is precatory and supplicatory out of compassion and with the intent of finding a way to guide a people who were on the threshold of divine punishment. However, because, based on divine knowledge, this return was not possible, Abraham’s request was denied. Since this argument was before the announcement of God’s final decision, it does not negate infallibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
