It is clearly known that Arabic has a great importance in understanding the Holy Qur’ān. Therefore, it has been reported that in both works of exegesis and its methodology, lexicon, syntax, grammar and sciences related to Arabic should be known very well in order to prevent confusion or avoid understanding incompletely. In relation with this issue, it is stated that the verses should be interpreted in accordance with their strong meanings which are commonly used in the language appropriate for word sequence not about their weak, irregular and strange meanings. Various explanations have been made about the third verse of Surah al-Nisā, which makes the subject of our study. According to overwhelming majority of scholars, the verse in question has limited the number of marriages to four. On the other hand, some other scholars have been defending that the words, مث ْ َن ى ٰوثُ َل ثَ ٰ باعَر ُو َ َmasnā (twice), sulāsa (three times) and rubā‘a (four times), have signified more than four marriages. This view, criticized without attributing to any person or group in early period sources, has been attributed to a group from Raifidhis and Dāwûd al-Ẓāhirī or in general to Ẓahiriyyas in sources written after Hegira fifth century, while it has been attributed to Kharijites, Zaydiyyah sects, Abū Muḥammad Qāsim b. Ibrāhīm, and in relatively late period sources, to Imam Neḫa‘ī and Ibn Abī Laylā. In this study, it will be tried to find out who have been the defenders of more than four marriages as in Nisā 3; after this, this approach will be investigated whether it corresponds with Arabic.
