Examination of the Theory of Sarfah and its Consequences in the Mutazilite and Shii Bases

In order to prove the marvel of Quran, the Muslim scholars discussed many perspectives under the title of "the forms of the Quran marvel". Between these forms, one can see a form called "Sarfah" (Dissuade) which some have believed in. They believe that Quran is not a miracle in itself and the others can bring something like it, but God dissuaded the people from contradicting the Quran. Explaining the place of this theory between the Shii and Mutazilite scholars, the present article explores the origin of this theory and believes that the reason for proposing such a theory is the cultural and religious context, serious theological arguments and controversies, and the lack of strong and powerful reasons for defending the Quran's legitimacy and ... in certain time conditions. Finally, referring to the implications of this theory, it proves and criticizes its incompatibility with the foundations of Mutazilah and Shia.
