Abstract
The Holy Prophet (PBUH) is a good example and a model for all freedom seekers in the world. On this basis, all existential dimensions and scientific and practical aspects of his life have been considered. The Holy Quran was revealed to him. The main question is, from what other source of revelation did the knowledge of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) originate? Some consider it to be the result of his ijtihad, while others consider the origin of the Prophet's knowledge (PBUH) to be a non-Quranic revelation. This research is based on a descriptive-analytical method and uses library resources. Given that the subject is studied in a comparative manner, the scope of the research is the works and books of interpretation and hadith of Shia and Sunni. The purpose of this article is to examine non-Quranic revelation in the sources of the two sects; which is referred to as Bayani revelation in Shia sources and Sunnah revelation or unread revelation in Sunni sources. The results of this study are that Muslims consider the origin of the knowledge of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) to be Quranic and non-Quranic revelation. Regarding non-Quranic revelation, Sunni interpretations and hadith sources mainly refer to a narration, which is known as the Hadith of Arikah. This narration has also been mentioned in Shiite hadith and exegesis sources. Examining the sources, chain of custody, and implications of this narration makes it clear that the origin of the discussion of non-Quranic revelation regarding the Prophet (PBUH) is common among scholars of both sects.
