Imam Muhammad al-Baqir's Mastery of the Subtle Allusions (Lata'if al-Isharat) in the Quran
In Hujwiri's Kashf al-Mahjub, Imam Muhammad al-Baqir is distinguished among the descendants of the Prophet by his command of the daqa'iq al-'ulum (the fine points of the religious sciences) and the lata'if al-isharat, the subtle allusions concealed within the Book of God. Hujwiri pairs this exegetical depth with al-Baqir's renowned karamat (miraculous graces), presenting him as an authority whose inner insight into scripture grounds his standing in the Sufi tradition. This teachable doctrine names the specific spiritual-hermeneutic contribution the excerpt attributes to him.
