Hadiths on Rules and Principles of Exegesis

This subsection gathers a single authentic hadith (no. 65046) that sets a methodological rule of exegesis: the believer neither believes the scriptures of the People of the Book nor treats them as liars. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) teaches the wording to adopt: «say: {We believe in Allah and what has been sent down to us». A principle of humility that frames the study of the texts revealed before the Qur'an, based on what was revealed to the believer himself.
