To enhance the rhetoric of our speeches, we can draw on the words and phrases rhetorically beyond our speeches. This is one of the rewards of the new science and is called quotation. Quotations have often been considered from a literary point of view, and other functions of them have not been mentioned. From a literary view, the Quran is abundant with miracles, and rhetoricians and speakers have quoted some verses based on their time and needs. However, it should be noted that Imams’ speeches are abundant with such quotations from the Quran and are the best sources for interpreting the Quran. The most frequent function of these quotations is in developing traditional exegeses. The reason lies in the fact that in narrative exegeses the Hadiths which are directly about interpreting the Quran are compiled, but if we focus on Imams’ quotations from the Quran, we will find more interpretations from Imams.
