But a group which found the order of Qur'an incompatible with their prejudice went for justifications that put human in deep amazement, for instance:
1- This verse has been invalidated by the tradition of Prophet (s.a.) and Ahadith which are quoted from his holiness! Ibn Hazm says in the book “Alahkaam fi Usul Alahkaam”: “Because washing feet is existed in tradition we should accept that anointment has been invalidated”.
While, first of all: All commentators agree that Maeda Sura is the last Sura which descended to holy Prophet (s.a.) and none of its verse are invalidated.
Second: As it will be mentioned later, we have lots of cabbalas which show Prophet (s.a.) did perform anointment on his feet during ablution in front of cabbalas that refer to wash of feet during ablution by his holiness.
How is it possible to invalidate a principle from Qur'an by cabbalas with this condition?
Moreover, it has been said about the opposition of cabbalas that, whenever cabbalas oppose each other compare them to Qur'an, cabbalas which agrees Qur'an are acceptable and the others should be denied.
2- Another person “Jisas” says in the book “Ahkaam Alqur’an” that verse of ablution is inconclusive (Mujmal) and we act as caution and wash the feet in order to perform both Ghasl (to wash) and anointment!1
While we all know that Ghasl and anointment have two separated meanings and Ghasl will never consist of anointment.
But what should have done that prejudices do not allow acting to the feature of Qur'an.
3- Fakhr Raazi says that if we read the verse with upper sound, that means “أرجلکم” (your feet) refers to “رؤوسکم” (your heads) which clearly implies on anointment of feet, still the purpose is not the anointment of feet, but purpose of anointment of feet is that do not waste water for washing your feet!2
While if this kinds of Ijtihad and individual interpretations introduce to discussion about verses of Qur'an, then nothing from features of Qur'an will remain to act as them; if we are permitted to define “anointment” as “do not wasting in washing” then all features of Qur'an can be interpret in another way.
