Tafsir:
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. 1- Alif Lam Mim, - This Book, there is no doubt in it, is a guide to those who guard (against evil). Abu Basir has narrated from Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a) that he said: الكتاب Al-Kitab/the Book) implies Ali (a) upon whom there is no doubt at all. And هُدًى لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ]Hudan lil muttaqeen/ a guide to those, who guard (against evil)] implies our Shias."

Tafsir:
3- Those, who believe in the unseen and keep up prayer and spend out of what We have given them. He said: Among the things that I have taught is that they should be warned and what I remind about Quran is that they recite it. الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ “Those who believe in the unseen...” That is those, who testify to the resurrection, being raised and divine promise and threat. And said: ‘Alif Laam Meem’ are letters from the great names of God, which have come in Quran in form of Muqattiyaat (code letters) and through them Almighty Allah has addressed the Holy Prophet (s) and the Holy Imam (a). So, when Almighty Allah is called with those names, He responds.”1

Tafsir:
8- "And there are some people who say: We believe in Allah and the last day; and they are not at all believers…." This verse was revealed about the hypocrites; when they met Messenger of Allah (s) they said: We have embraced Islam; and when they met the infidels, they said: We are with you. That is: when they meet the believers they say: We are believers. But to the disbelievers, they said: إِنَّا مَعَكُمْ إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُسْتَهْزِئُونَ﴿١٤﴾ Surely we are with you, we were only mocking (the believers).” (2:14) So, Almighty Allah has rejected their conduct and stance and He says: اللَّهُ يَسْتَهْزِئُ بِهِمْ وَيَمُدُّهُمْ فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ ﴿١٥﴾ “Allah shall pay them back their mockery, and He leaves them alone in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on.” (2:15) That is Almighty Allah would repay their mockery with divine chastisement.

Tafsir:
16- These are they who buy error for the right direction, so their bargain shall bring no gain, nor are they the followers of the right direction. ‘Error’ in this verse is bewilderment and confusion; guidance is the very same explanation and showing of the path.

Tafsir:
26- Surely Allah is not ashamed to set forth any parable -(that of) a lowest or anything above that; then as for those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord, and as for those who disbelieve, they say: What is it that Allah means by this parable: He causes many to err by it and many He leads aright by it! But He does not cause to err by it (any) except the transgressors. إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَضْرِبَ مَثَلًا مَا بَعُوضَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا ۚ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ ۖ وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَيَقُولُونَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًا ۘ يُضِلُّ بِهِ كَثِيرًا وَيَهْدِي بِهِ كَثِيرًا “Surely Allah is not ashamed to set forth any parable - (that of) a lowest or anything above that; then as for those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord, and as for those who disbelieve, they say: What is it that Allah means by this parable: He causes many to err by it and many He leads aright by it! But He does not cause to err by it (any)...” Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a) says: This statement of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime is rejection of those, who think that Allah, the mighty and high misleads His servants and then punishes them for their deviation. So, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime said: إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَضْرِبَ مَثَلًا مَا بَعُوضَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا “Surely Allah is not ashamed to set forth any parable - (that of) a lowest or anything above that.”1 Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a) says in another traditional report: Almighty Allah have given this example for Amirul Momineen (a). So, بـعو َضًة ‘Baooza’ (lowest) implies Amirul Momineen (a) َُ and َما فَـْوقَـَها: anything above that: is Messenger of Allah (s). It is the evidence of the divine statement that: فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ ۖ. “Then as for those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord.” That is Amirul Momineen (a), for whom Messenger of Allah (s) took the pledge of people وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَيَقُولُونَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًا ۘ يُضِلُّ بِهِ كَثِيرًا “And as for those who disbelieve, they say: What is it that Allah means by this parable: He causes many to err by it and many He leads aright by it! But He does not cause to err by it (any)...” Thus, Almighty Allah has refuted them and said: وَمَا يُضِلُّ بِهِ إِلَّا الْفَاسِقِينَ “He does not cause to err by it (any) except the transgressors.”
