The Prophet's practice of quoting Qur'anic verses remained over the next generations. Likewise, the companions cited the Scriptures in their everyday lives. By doing so, they made the Qur'an more applicable to their daily lives. It is essential to evaluate these narratives so that comparisons can be made between the companions' perspectives and our own. We should note that there have been sufficient number of narrations to assess the issue. Some of these narrations conform to the intratextual and extratextual contexts of the Qur'an, while others contradict them. This situation demonstrates that some of the companions were interested in the context, while others were not. The way they approached the verses by taking them out of context was manifested by a generalization of a particular phrase, understanding the figurative expressions as literal uses of words, or disregarding the narratives related to the intra-textual and extra-textual context of verses. This viewpoint has influenced the exegetes throughout history more or less and contributed to forming such a tradition. The way that exegetes adopted in the Qur’ānic exegesis led us to such an outcome.
