The verses of Al-Tathir, Wilaya, Ulu l-Amr (Obedience), Al-Tablīgh (Propagation) and other famous verses have long been part of the most famous citations of theology of the Imamiyya. Verses Stories from the Quran have less been considered by the commentators and theologians of Imamate, while Imams (P.B.U.T.) have referred to them a lot for explaining and defending the teachings of Imamate. In this paper, theological-exegesis citations of Imam Reza (P.B.U.H.) to Verses Stories in the field of Imamate have been reviewed and explained by relying on early narrative sources of the Imam to reconstruct the pattern of deduction and theological citation and to achieve the methods of responding to theological doubts in the field of Imamate. Imam Reza’s (P.B.U.H.) citation to this type of verses can be considered an important approach to theological exegesis of the Quran, while in the scientific atmosphere of Sunnite, the Israeli discourse dominates the exegesis of Quranic stories. Studies show that the infallibility of the Imam, the course of Imamate in the family of Ibrahim (P.B.U.H.), Divine Knowledge of the Imam, seeing and not recognizing the Imam, the acceptance of Succession, and the difference between the meaning of Ummah and Dynasty are the most important theological discussions of the Imam in referring to the stories of the Quran. The explicative method of Imam Reza (P.B.U.H.) to Verses Stories is another topic discussed in this article.
