سورة الشعراء

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): As for Ta Sin Mim, its meaning is that I am al-Talib (the seeker), as-Sami' (the hearing), al-Mubdi' (the originator), and al-Mu'id (the one who returns).

Ali ibn Ibrahim: Ta Sin Mim is one of the greatest letters and symbols of Allah in the Quran.

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family): Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyya narrated from Imam Ali (peace be upon him) that the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him and his family), at the revelation of طسم [Ta Sin Mim], said: "What is meant by Ta is Mount Sinai, by Sin is Alexandria, and by Mim is Mecca." It has also been said: what is meant by Ta is the tree of Tuba, by Sin is Sidrat al-Muntaha (a lush, shady tree at the summit of the heavens, at the furthest point of the ascent of the angels, the souls of the martyrs, the knowledge of the prophets and the deeds of human beings, a place beyond which the angels do not pass, and where Jibra'il too halted on the night of the Mi'raj when he reached it. Of course, what is meant is not a tree like those we see on earth, but a reference to a mighty canopy in the vicinity of the mercy of the Truth, on whose leaves the angels glorify Allah and in whose shade communities of the righteous and pure abide), and by Mim is Muhammad al-Mustafa (peace be upon him and his family).
