This article is an attempt to support the theory of “the verbal and spiritual revelation of the holy Quran” simultaneously by Allah the Exalted on the basis of the traditions narrated in Shiite sources. Moreover, on the basis of the stress traditions put on the revelation of the holy Quran in a special language and explaining the two terms “verse and meaning” in regard of the revelation of the Quran, the existence of the clear and ambiguous verses, and also attributing the revelation of the Quran to the Exalted Allah it is argued that the holy Prophet, peace be upon him and his household, had no verbal or spiritual intervention with the revelation of the verses or their announcement to people.
