The legal validity of the interpretive battle of Amir al-Mu'minan Ali (as) in special circumstances after the life of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) is proven in the sources of the two sects with various narratives to the extent of brief frequency; in one of these narratives, the Prophet's address to Ammār, who plays a decisive role in the battle of interpretation, we see the connection of the interpretive battle of Amir al-Mu'minin with the issue of Mahdism in the end of time. The wars of Amir al-Mu'minin (as) have not only been the focus of evaluating issues and rulings of war, but will also be at the forefront of Imam Zaman's leadership. The fact that the battles of Imam Zaman (as) were against the biased currents of thought in the esoteric interpretation of the Qur'an inclines us to the point that the challenges of the interpretive battle are common in both times; so that it is difficult for people to recognize the truth, because the parties to the war document their actions with the verses of the Qur’an; therefore, the way out of this situation is to "know the imam", after which the interpretive battle will be fruitful and we will witness the revival of the Prophet's Sunnah and authentic Islam.
