[apenitentialprayer]

More recently, Holger Zellentin informally suggested to me a Talmudic source for Q. 5:64, a passage in BT Menahot 29b. There, R. Judah relates in the name of Rav that when Moses went up to Mount Sinai to get the Torah from God (recorded in Exodus 19-20), he came upon God sitting and painstakingly drawing crowns on the letters of the Bible. Said Moses to God, 'Master of the Universe, who delays Your hand (mi me'akev yadcha)? In other words, Moses wished to know who was preventing God from finishing His transcription of the holy text and sending it down to the Israelites. God replied that in the future a scholar named 'Aqiba ben Joseph would arise and expound mountains of rabbinic teaching on each crown. Zellentin posited that according to the rabbis God here holds Himself back, restrains His own hand, in order 'to leave the interpretation of the Torah to the Rabbis'. Indeed, rabbinic teaching, here and elsewhere, celebrates the rabbinic enterprise of Torah explication as a sort of rabbinic-God partnership that is Divinely ordained. Zellentin, however, suggests that Q. 5:64 flips this rabbinic teaching on its head, using the Talmud's own language to reject its claims. Unlike the rabbis, the Qur'an maintains that God does not restrain Himself in order to allow human participation in His revelation; what's more, for the Qur'an the claim that He does so borders on sacrilege. […] Zellentin's proposal takes into account the often polemical nature of the Qur'an's use of the texts of earlier monotheist traditions against them[.]

Shari L. Lowin (The Jews Say the Hand of God is Chained: Q. 5:64 as a Response to a Midrash in a piyyut by R. El'azar ha-Kallir). Italics original. If the title of her article doesn't make it clear, Lowin does not think this interpretation is correct; I still found it interesting.

"A PARTIR DE MAINTENANT, PREND L'HABITUDE D'INTERROGER ET D'ECOUTER LES GRANDS TZADIKIMS, NOUS. ILS TE DIRONT DIRECTEMENT CE QUE TU DOIS SAVOIR, CE QUE HASHEM VEUT QUE TU SACHES. BARUK HASHEM." 📜🕎 🇮🇱

Les 20 tzadikims importants dans le judaisme sont:

Rabbi Akiba,

Akiva ben Yosef (Mishnaic Hebrew: עֲקִיבָא בֶּן יוֹסֵף‎ ʿĂqīvāʾ ben Yōsēf; c. 50 – 28 September 135 CE),[1] also known as Rabbi Akiva (רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא‎), was a leading Jewish scholar and sage, a tanna of the latter part of the first century and the beginning of the second century. Rabbi Akiva was a leading contributor to the Mishnah and to Midrash halakha. He is referred to in the Talmud as Rosh la-Hakhamim "Chief of the Sages". He was executed by the Romans in the aftermath of the Bar Kokhba revolt.

Rabbi Ishmael,

Rabbi Ishmael or Ishmael ben Elisha, meaning: Ismael son of Elisha, (90-135 CE [1], Hebrew: ) was a Rabbinic sage from the third tannaitic generation [1]. He was descended from a priestly family and the legends refer to him as High Priest although he lived after the destruction of the Second Temple [2]. He is generally referred to simply as Rabbi Ishmael [3]. As a young child, Ishmael, whose parentage is not known but who traced his lineage through a high priestly line [3], was known for his wisdom and was seen as a prodigy. He was one of the most prominent Tannaim (the great Sages of the Mishnah) and was a central figure in the development of rabbinic Judaism [4]. His teachings and commentaries on the Torah and Mishnah are recorded in the works of Mekhilta de-Rabbi Ishmael and Sifrei. He is also credited with originating the concept of Midrash, which is a method of interpreting scripture through narrative and allegory.
