It is clear that God is not forgetful and, accordingly, has not omitted any other food due to His forgetting it; as He has said: ﴿وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيًّا[1]; “And your Lord is not forgetful,” and therefore, generalizing the four foods to dozens of other foods based on the Sunnah of the Prophet, which is often non-mutawatir and accessible to a limited number of people, is unreasonable and contrary to God’s justice and grace unless it is by way of mentioning detested foods in the sense of being discouraged; because in this case there is no conflict between them, or the ruling of the Quran is general and relies on a criterion; as He has said: ﴿وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَائِثَ[2]; “And He forbids to them what is impure,” in which case the ruling of the Sunnah of the Prophet is, in fact, not generalizing the ruling of the Quran, but rather it is directing to its other examples considering the existence of its criterion in them and the possibility of adhering to it in them, if certain; such as the forbiddenness of human excrement and all other things whose impurity is certain; although they are not mentioned beside the four foods, and the principle is that impurity is confined to them, to the extent that it is not unlikely that eating other things is detested, not illegitimate; as eating rotten and bitter things is not forbidden, but rather it is detested and does not suit the taste of most people.

[Necessity of presenting narrations to the Quran]

It is hereby understood that the Quran has not been abrogated, specified, or generalized by the Sunnah, and therefore, narrations that completely or partially contradict the Quran are not acceptable, nor are they considered to be from the Sunnah; such as the narrations that abrogate the obligation to count ‘iddah after every divorce by allowing three divorces in one session, the narrations that abrogate the permissibility of enjoying intimacy with women and marriage to women of the book by forbidding the two, the narrations that specify the impossibility of seeing God with the eyes to the worldly life, the narrations that specify the forbiddenness of tendencies to oppressors to those other than rulers,
