Studying and Analyzing reports and critics on Urwat al-Wuthqa interpretation of Shaykh Bahaei

Bahāʾ al-dīn al-ʿĀmilī (953-1030d) known as Sheikh Bahaei in the great interpretation of Urwat al-Wuthqa has reported exegesists'''' views on chapter Hamd interpretation. After analyzing and criticizing these views has presented his own view on the matter. Presenting and analyzing the reports and critics of Sheikh Bahaei on independence or togetherness chapters Zuha, Sharh, Fil and Quraysh and also the subject of "Basmalah" being the part of each chapter of the Holy Quran are the most important aims of this article. The preset article shows Sheikh Bahaei has undermined the arguments indicating the aforementioned four chapters are actually two chapters. The arguments rejected by Sheikh Bahaei are as follows: These chapters due to conceptual connection are in fact two chapters, these four chapters are in fact two chapters because Akhfash and Zajjaj claimed them as such and finally they are two chapters because in the Mushaf of Ubay bin Ka''''b there was no separation between them. Moreover Sheikh Bahaei on the basis of Imams traditions has taken "Basmalah" as a verse of the Holy Quran and as a part of each chapter of this holy book. He also believes that reciting this verse in the prayers is mandatory.
