وَيُعَلِّمُكَ مِنْ تَأْوِيلِ الْأَحَادِيثِ
And He will teach you something of the interpretation of accounts and events. (Qur’an 12:6)

The expression taʾwīl al-aḥādīth occurs in Sūrat Yūsuf. In Joseph’s story, interpretation of dreams and understanding outcomes are particularly relevant. The phrase points to insight beyond merely hearing a report.

The further proposal that every prophetic narrative be analyzed chiefly through a messenger’s and community’s preparedness is a specific interpretive theory. The verse itself does not compel one exclusive historical or psychological explanation of every narrative.
