Re: Book of Hadith

The actual context of 56:79 is in fact different. If we read ayah 75 onwards we will know what it is besides its application to the actual cleanliness of human body:
56:75 Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars,
56:76 And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew,
56:77 That this is indeed a qur’an Most Honourable,
56:78 In Book well-guarded,
56:79 Which none shall touch but those who are clean:
56:80 A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
check ayah 77 and then 78 … it tells us that Quran is From a Book which is well guarded. That well guarded book is given three names in Quran : Kitaabum Maknoon, Lawhim Mahfooz, Ummul Kitaab
Therefore, when ayah 79 tells us that only those who are clean touch that WELL GUARDED book, it is not refering to Quran but to Kitaabum Maknoon and those who are clean (Mutaharoon) are Angels.
the main subject of discussion here is the Quran hence one wud think that pronouns used here refer to the Quran…
kitaab-e-maknoon itself owes its mentioning here cuz Quran is being discussed…
