Seyyed Abulfazl Burqai is one of the contemporary Iranian Quranists who wrote the tafsir book Tābeshi az Qurʾan based on the sufficiency of the Qurʾan. In the introduction of his book, he claims that relying on the verses of the Qurʾan and accepting the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) as a detailer of the brief verses of the Qurʾan, he will express the facts without professional prejudices;however, researches show that in the verse Mubāhalah, which is one of the verses of vilāyah, he did not obey the rules of interpretation of the Holy Qurʾan and also ignored the Prophetic Sunnah. Seyyed Abulfazl Barqa'i has made mistakes in his interpretation method to avoid matching ʾanfusanā to Imam Ali (as).He also ignored or neglected some of the rules of interpretation, such as adhering to the principles of conventional and rational conversation, observing Arabic literature, not contradicting the interpretation with the definite tradition, prohibiting interpretation according to his own opinion, and making mistakes in the semantics of the word. His opinion is rejected due to several reasons, including the matching of ʾanfusanā to Amir al-Muʾminīn Ali (as) by non-Shiites, carelessness in finding an analogy for the verse, and not accepting the correctness of the matching of the verse to Imam Ali (as).No independent research has been observed about the criticism of Burqai's opinion about the verse Mubāhalah verse. This research, which is a descriptive and analytical method, investigates and criticizes the opinion of Seyyed Abulfazl Burqai about the verse Mubāhalah.
