‘Impact description of the Qur’an’ is an independent science whose subject of investigation are narrations by the Shi‘a Fourteen Infallibles on the descriptive explanation of the verses and chapters of the Qur’an. These descriptive narrations can be classified into different types and then studied. One type consists of those which explain the superiority that some verses have over others, either because of certain purposes they imply or due to their theme. This set of narrations can be referred to as ‘impact superiority of the verses of the Qur’an’ and regarded as one of the important topics of the science of ‘the Impact Superiority of the Verses of the Qur’an’ as was discussed in a paper entitled ‘An introduction to the theory of the impact superiority of the Qur’an’ published in the 3rd issue of this journal. The present paper, however, seeks to collect and present the most important preferential narrations and briefly examine their documents and references, as well as to provide an answer to the inevitable question as regards the justification for the superiority of some verses over other.

From among the narrations of the immaculate Imams (PBUT), those narrations which are concerned with the cause of their descent, the explanation of the simple elements and concepts or those that discuss the applicability of the verses, etc. are used for the interpretation of the Qur’an's effect. However, another group of narrations merely describe certain Quranic verses and chapters and these narrations provide for the ‘description of the Qur’an's effect’. These narrations refer to differing qualities of Quranic verses and chapters; the narrations which have discussed the impact of reciting particular chapters or those narrations that consider some verses as more valuable than the others are some examples. The present paper classifies these narrations, explains them and discusses their practical and scientific efficiency and makes an essential comparison between these narrations and the interpretive ones. This paper is solely an introduction into a more general theory and research field and attempts to contribute to the better practical and scientific understanding of the ‘Description of the Qur'an's Effect’ by the researchers of the science of the Qur’an and narrations so that they adopt a different perspective towards these narrations, attend to them and use them.
