9. The best form of disputation jadal aḥsan is when a true premise that is accepted by the opponent becomes part of the argument. Here, since Jesus being the son of Mary is a true premise accepted by the addressees and opponents and is part of the argument, it constitutes the best form of disputation.

Also, one must be of free will and capable, not under duress, compelled, desperate or forced, because if any of these excuses exist, the religious ruling is lifted: “Nine things are lifted from my community…” Kitāb al-Khiṣāl, p. 417.

145. All humans, even prophets, must avoid following desires and whims, as addressed to David: “And do not follow desire, for it will lead you astray from the path of God” 38:26. This obligation does not conflict with infallibility; for although the infallible person is obligated like ordinary people, desires and whims in his sacred soul are subdued through the greater struggle jihād akbar, and his intellect is dominant.

161. Qur’an, 29:15

162. Based on 3:45-46, during the angels’ glad tidings to Mary, it was mentioned that God would grant her a son whose name would be the Messiah, and that he would be distinguished in this world and the hereafter, among those brought near to God, speaking from the cradle and in maturity, and among the righteous who are superior to those who perform righteous deeds: “When the angels said: O Mary, God gives you glad tidings of a Word from Him whose name is the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, distinguished in this world and the Hereafter, and among those brought near [to God]. He will speak to people in the cradle and in maturity, and will be among the righteous.” 3:45-46. Accordingly, the meaning of “none but God knows what is in the wombs” is that this knowledge is not possible inherently; however, it is possible accidentally, just as God informed Mary of the unseen through angels, and she gained knowledge of the unseen through divine revelation that she would give birth to a son, and so on.

169. Qur’an, 3:49

170. A miracle is an event that is “contrary to habit” and ordinarily impossible. However, a leap ṭafra through the necessary stages of development is contrary to reason rather than habit and rationally impossible. In a miracle, the intermediate stages between beginning and end are traversed quickly, but a leap, which is rationally impossible, is when something extended - whether temporally, spatially, materially, or existentially - which has a beginning, middle, and end, attempts to traverse the distance between beginning and end first and last at once without passing through the middle stage, and reaches the end from the beginning without going through intermediate stages. For example, if inanimate matter were to become human instantly without going through plant and animal stages, or if it were to become animal directly from the inanimate stage without passing through the plant stage. The occurrence of such a thing is impossible, and the verses under discussion never indicate that such a rational impossibility has occurred.

171. Qur’an, 3:49

172. Qur’an, 20:88. The expression “a calf’s body that lowed” indicates that the real sound was not from a real animal, but rather a sound from a body resembling a calf, not an actual calf. And taking a handful from the messenger’s trace: “So I took a handful from the messenger’s trace and cast it” 20:96 can only have this much effect - that from a body resembling a calf, a lowing khuwār - which is the specific sound of cattle - is produced. A cow is called a “lowing animal” ḥayawān khāʾir, in contrast to a horse and donkey which are neighing and braying animals ḥayawān ṣāhil and ḥayawān nāhiq.

303. If something is non-existent and a person knows about it or another becomes aware of it, that hypothetical thing is necessarily considered to have presumed existence. When the non-existent is presumed to exist, it becomes known, because the presumption of existence creates the possibility of manifestation for it. Imam Riḍā a.s. was asked whether God has knowledge of the non-existent. He replied that God not only knows the non-existent, but also knows the impossible and even beyond that, the impossible presumed to exist. Then he cited this verse as evidence: “If they were returned, they would go back to what they were forbidden from” 6:28 ʿUyūn Akhbār al-Riḍā, vol. 1, p. 118; Biḥār al-Anwār, vol. 4, p. 78. This means no one returns from Hell to this world, and returning from Hell to this world is impossible, because when this world is rolled up 81:1-2, there will be no world to return to.
