Abstract

Sobhi Mansour, in the book Al-Quran va Kafa Masdara li Al-Tashri' Al-
Islami, tries to introduce the Quran as the single source of Islamic legislation
according to Quran itself and therefore to prove the lack of authority of traditions.
He maintains that according to Quranic verses, Quran is a complete and
comprehensive book, has declared itself to be sufficient for the guidance, and has
forbidden people from referring to others.
In Sobhi Mansour's view, the uncertainty in the authenticity of traditions and
the Islam prophets' (S) prohibition from writing traditions are evidences for
sufficiency of Quran in legislation and also for denial of the authority of traditions.
It seems, however, that in proving and supporting the Sufficiency of Quran
theory, ignoring the texts implying the authority of traditions and their nonconventional
justification, he has conducted not only a selective approach with
regard to the verses but also has benefited from interpretations inappropriate to the
context.
