The Semantics of the Term " Nisāʼ " in Āyah 61 of Surah Al-I Imran

Ayat 61 of Surah Al-i’Imran which is known Mubahaleh, there is disagreement between the Quran exegetists about what the intended meaning of Nisāʼ (women) is. some believe that the instance of it is the wives of the holy prophet but Shia exegetists in all and most of the Sunni exegetists believe that the instance of the verse (ayah) is Hazarat Zahra (s.w.a.).the main question is whether the term Nisā can be used for daughters or not. This research with the examination of the words of the Arab philologists and the verses of the holy Quran and Islamic hadiths and literature texts has concluded that the usage of Nisāʼ in Arab word is current for daughters and the holy prophet has done his responsibility in the position of Mubahaleh and he has not aimed to make virtues for his daughter.
