The impression of Quran on the psyche and language of the mystics and on the development of the Islamic mysticism, is undeniable. The evaluation of the way of interpreting Quran by the Muslims of primary centuries, helps a lot with the analysis of the formation of mystical expressions. To this purpose, in this article, the Quranic term of “amity” is studied in the interpretation related to Imam Jafar al-Sadiq by taking into consideration the attribution of him to the lineage of afflatus, and also his historical approximation to the prophet Muhammad. The Quranic term of “amity” has been primarily controversial by the interpreters and hyponmity writers. Imam Jafar al-Sadiq, has also taken steps towards development and enlargement of the term “amity” by a particular language that is shown by his individual experience and reading of Quran.His use of metaphors and utilization of different implications and compounds, is a struggle for internalizing the topic of friendship between Creator and creature. This approach attracts the attention of mystics, especially the Iranian mystics, and in the later centuries the concept of passion becomes one of the central themes of Persian mysticism and poetry.

Keywords : Quran; Imam Jafar al-Sadiq; amity; affection; interpretation.
