آيه «نهي از سوال» و رابطه آن با عصري بودن قرآن

The Verse of "Prohibition from Inquiring" and Its Relation with Time-limitedness of the Quran

برخي از طرف‌داران نظريه «عصري بودن قرآن» با استناد به ادله درون‌ديني، به دنبال اثبات اين موضوع بوده‌اند. يكي از اين دلايل آنان آيه «نهي از سوال» است. اينان با محور قرار دادن يكي از دو شان نزول ذكر شده براي آيه، كه نهي از سوال را درباره مسايل فقهي مي‌داند، اين‌گونه نتيجه مي‌گيرند كه بسياري از احكام دين پاسخ سوالات نابجايي است كه اگرچه مورد نهي قرآن قرار گرفته، اما پس از پرسش، به‌عنوان «عرضيات» وارد دين گرديده و اين نشانه «عصري بودن قرآن» است. در اين مقاله، با بررسي دقيق مفاد آيه «نهي از سوال»، اثبات مي‌شود كه شان نزول صحيح آيه مذكور، سوال از اموري همانند اجل انسان، سعادت، شقاوت و اموري بوده كه مصلحت در ندانستن آن است و بر فرض قبول شان نزول ديگر، باز نمي‌توان «عرضي بودن برخي احكام قرآن» و درنتيجه، «عصري بودن آن» را اثبات كرد.

Citing intra-religion proofs, some proponents of the theory of "time-limitedness of the Quran" seek to prove that the Quran is limited to the time of revelation. They refer to the verse of "prohibition of inquiring" to support their view. Relying on one of the two occasions of revelation of this verse, which prohibits inquiring about fiqhi issues, they conclude that many religious represent answers to inopportune questions which are forbidden by the Quran, but such questions are entered into religion as "accidents" after they had been imposed, and this they consider as a sign of "time-limitedness of the Quran". Having carefully reviewed the content of the verse of "prohibition from inquiring", the present paper proves that the true occasion of revelation of the mentioned verse is related to such issues as manʹs end of life, felicity, affliction and things which are not worth knowing and that the idea of "accidentalness of some Quranʹs injunctions" " time-limitedness of the Quran" cannot be proved even if the other occasion of revelation is considered to to be true.
