The interpretive narrations of the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.) are considered to be the most important sources in understanding the teachings of the Quran, and all of them require a study and analysis of the source and interpretation; however, in the existing narrative societies, on the one hand, they are limited to quoting narrations, and on the other hand, only the text of the narrations is presented without any source and interpretation analysis. Therefore, in a narrative interpretation, it is necessary to study the chain of transmission and present a correct analysis of the contents of such narrations in order to achieve a clear interpretation of the verses. The main issue in this research is the analysis of the methodological principles effective in comparative narrative interpretation and the interaction of chain of transmission and text with the interpretive narrations of the sects using the library collection method and the descriptive-analytical processing method in three parts: the principles of collecting interpretive narrations, the principles of verifying the chain of transmission, and finally, the principles of the interpretation analysis of such narrations.
The findings of the research show that: the authority of the narrations of the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.) in interpretation, as well as their comprehensiveness and permanence, are among the effective foundations in collecting the maximum number of interpretive narrations, i.e. the initial stage of the narrative interpretation operation. Also, the validity of the specific and general verifications of the narrators, the authenticity of the single reliable news, and the relative efficiency
