[Pooya/Ali Commentary 39:33] "He who brings the truth" refers to the Holy Prophet, and it is unanimously accepted by the scholars of all sects that 'He who testifies it' refers to Ali ibn abi Talib. See commentary of Ali Imran : 52 and 53. Ibn al Maghazli writes the abovenoted interpretation in his Manaqibah on the authority of Mujahid. Hafizan ibn Marduwayh and Hafiz Abu Nu-aym have also recorded this tradition. Once the Holy Prophet asked his companions: "Who among you would relate to me a distinguishing excellence of my cousin, Ali?" "I shall," said Ammar Yasir. "Do, then," said the Holy Prophet. Ammar recited this verse. "True is that which you have recited," said the Holy Prophet. Imam Ali said: "I am the siddiq al akbar (the greatest truthful) and I am the faruq al azam (the greatest distinguisher), and none shall claim these titles other than me, save a liar." Ibn Abbas said: "When on the night of ascension the Holy Prophet visited the kingdom of Allah in the heavens, He told him: 'Go and inform your followers what you have seen here'. The Holy Prophet asked: 'Who would testify my statement?' Allah replied: 'Ali will testify.'" "These are those who safeguard themselves against evil" and verses 34 and 35 refer to the other believers in the truth who also are entitled to be called muttaqin according to the degree of their sincerity in the faith. Aqa Mahdi Puya says: This verse is applicable to all the prophets and their testifiers. Among them the most distinguished are: (i) Mumin ali Firawn, (ii) Mumin ali Yasin, (iii) Ali ibn abi Talib, the superior most among them. Any view expressed by any commentator, not supported by the sayings of the Holy Prophet, should be rejected outright.
