# Verse 3 of [[Qur'an 5]] which is known as the [[al-Ikmal Verse]] and says, "Today, I have perfected your religion for you, and I have completed My blessing upon you, and I have approved Islam as your religion."{{enote|اَلْیوْمَ أکْمَلْتُ لَکُمْ دینَکُمْ وَأتْمَمْتُ عَلَیکُمْ نِعْمَتی وَرَضیتُ لَکُمُ الإِسْلامَ دیناً}}

# Verse 67 of the same sura which is called the [[al-Tabligh Verse]] and says, "O Apostle! Communicate that which has been sent down to you from your Lord, and if you do not, you will not have communicated His message, and Allah shall protect you from the people."{{enote|يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ ۖ وَإِن لَّمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهُ ۚ}}

# Verses 1 and 2 of [[Qur'an 70]] which reads, "An asker asked for a punishment bound to befall (1) —which none can avert from the faithless"{{enote|سأل سائل بعذاب واقع للکافرین لیس له دافع}} referring to the event that after the Prophet (s) announced the guardianship of Ali (a), a man whose name was [[Nu'man b. Harith al-Fihri]] came to the Prophet (s) and complained that, "You ordered us to acknowledge [[Tawhid]], your mission, performing [[jihad]], [[hajj]], [[fasting]], [[prayer]] and giving [[zakat]] and we accepted. But, you were not pleased with this much until you appointed this young man as our [[Wilaya|Wali]]. Is this appointment your own decision or from God?!" When the Prophet (s) answered him that it has been the order of God, the man asked God disdainfully that if this order is from God, a stone fells on his head from the sky. Then, a stone fell from the sky on his head and he dropped dead and this verse was then revealed<ref>al-Tabrasi, ''Majma' al-Bayan'', Vol.10, P.530; al-Qurtubi, Vol.19, P.278; al-Tha'labi, Vol.10, P.35</ref>.
