Various perspectives exist regarding the identity of the referent for the phrase “He who possesses knowledge of the Book” in Verse 43 of Surah Ar-Raʿd. Some attribute this title to Abdullah ibn Salam, others to various scholars among the People of the Book (Ahl al-Kitāb), and some to Imam Ali (PBUH). Furthermore, certain scholars have proposed the variant reading “man ʿindahū ʿulima al-kitāb” thereby attributing the source of knowledge to God Himself. By consulting narrative sources from the first four centuries, all narrations identifying Abdullah ibn Salam as the referent were compiled and scrutinized in both chain of transmission and thematic perspective. The analysis reveals that narrations transmitted from Mujahid, Abdullah ibn Salam, and Dhahhak lack sufficient validity to determine the verse’s referent due to weak chains of transmission, their disconnected (mursal) status, and discrepancies in textual readings. Conversely, Shīʿa narrations and select reputable Sunni sources attribute the most reliable paths (ṭuruq) and editorial versions (taḥrīr) to the Commander of the Faithful, Ali (PBUH), which are validated by biographical evaluation (rijāl) and exhibit greater structural integrity. Utilizing a descriptive-analytical methodology, this study evaluates the isnad and text (matn) of narrations in historical sources to resolve the existing conflicts and ambiguities within these reports, seeking to determine which category of narrations holds superior historical and scholarly validity.
