至于他关于《古兰经》注释的言论，数量很多。

As for his words in commentary on the Qur’an, there are many.

伊本·萨阿德记述，阿里说：“以真主发誓，没有一节经文降示，我不知道它是何时降示的、在何处降示的，也不知道它是为谁而降示的。我的主赐予我一颗极其聪慧的心，和一条真实而善辩的舌头。” 伊本·萨阿德及其他人记述，艾卜·图斐里说：阿里说：“你们可以问我关于真主之书的任何问题，因为每一节经文，我都知道它是在夜间还是白天降示的，是在平原上还是在山中降示的。” 伊本·艾布·达乌德记述，穆罕默德·伊本·西林说：先知ﷺ逝世后，阿里迟迟没有向艾布·伯克尔宣誓效忠。艾布·伯克尔见到他，说：“你是不是不喜欢我掌权？”他说：“不是的，但我发过誓，除了礼拜之外，不披上外衣，直到我把古兰经收集整理完毕。”据称，他是按照经文降示的次序书写的。穆罕默德（伊本·西林）因此说：“如果那部经书被找到，其中必定有大量的知识。”

Ibn Sa°d narrated that cAli said, ‘By Allah, an ayah has not been revealed without me knowing about what it was revealed, where it was revealed, and about whom it was revealed. My Lord has given me a very intelligent heart and a true and articulate tongue.’ Ibn Sacd and others narrated that Abu’t-Tufayl said: cAli said, Ask me about the Book of Allah, because there is no ayah but that I know whether it was revealed at night or in daytime, on the plain or in the mountain.’ Ibn Abi Dawud narrated that Muhammad ibn Sirin said: When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died, cAli was slow to pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr met him and said, ‘Do you dislike my (having the) authority?’ He said, ‘No, but I have sworn not to don my mantle, except for the prayer, until I have collected together the Qur’an.’ They claimed that he wrote it in the order of its revelation. Muhammad (ibn Sirin) thus said, ‘If that book were come across, there would be knowledge in it.’
