There are many traditions in Shi'a and Sunni books, which are known as the hadiths of the revelation of mithl (the like) and mithlayn (the likes) of the Qur'an; including: Innī 'uwtītu al-Qur'ān wa mithlahū ma‘ahū (Indeed, I have been given the Qur’an and the like of it along with it) and 'Uwtītu al-Qur'ān wa mithlayhi. The content of these hadiths is the revelation of the equivalent, or twice as much, of the Qur'an along with the revelation of the Qur'an itself from God to the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.). Considering the pivotal position of the Qur'an among Muslims and its importance in Islamic studies, the traditions concerning the revelation of mithl and mithlayn with the Qur'an have occupied the minds of both Shi'a and Sunni thinkers for discovering its quiddity and the way it is related to the Qur'an. The result of their scholarly endeavor has been the interpretation of mithl to sunna. There are some objections raised against this view. The clues and evidence in these traditions and in other hadiths indicate that the interpretation of mithl and mithlayn specifically as "expressive and interpretive revelation" is closer to the truth and is indeed determinate, rather than sunna in the general and technical sense, which includes the contents unrelated to the interpretation of the Qur'an.
