The importance of the discussion regarding the essence of Quran arises primarily from the fact that part of the meanings and teachings of Quran are related to the essence of verses, and, also, the eternity of Quran has a collateral relationship with its essence. The essence of Quran can be studied from different aspects, though the first step in this regard is to understand the nature of Quran’s essence; an action which not only is efficient in understanding the range and levels of Quran’s essence but also plays an important role in understanding a correct way to interpret Quran and deal correctly with interpretive narrations. In different eras, scholars in various fields of Islamic sciences have proposed different definitions for the essence of Quran, but it can be derived from hadiths that this essence is both the concealed meanings of the verses and the teachings which cannot be initially understood. The present paper aims to investigate the conceptology of the essence of Quran based on narrations. As a result of this research, it can be concluded that the essence of Quran in narrations has been proposed in three forms: the evidence of verses, different meanings concealed from the words of verses and the deep meanings of Quran.
