This article focuses on the meaning of Nu'mÄn ibn ḤayyÅ«n for the words al-safinah and al-fulk in the AsÄs al-Ta'wil book. It also explains, using Gadamer's hermeneutical theory, the way Nu'man's interpretation on safÄ«nah and fulk appears and how its historical relevance in Nu'mÄn's life. Nu'mÄn is a ta'wÄ«l expert from the SyÄ«'ah IsmÄ'Ä«liyyah group who has produced many scientific works. The AsÄs al-Ta'wÄ«l, contains Nu'man's interpretation of the stories of the prophets, which are the philosophical, spiritual and 'essence' of the al-Qur'an. The academic problem of this research originated from Nu'mÄn's representation of the word safÄ«nah in Q.S. 29:15 concerning the ark of the Prophet Nūḥ. He interprets Safinah as proselityzing science / truth. Da'wah al-ḥaq is like a boat swinging over the ocean of knowledge. In his interpretation, there is a bias of ShÄ«'ah ideology which is only carried out by Nu'mÄn, not other Shi'ite scholars. This study uses a hermeneutical approach with Gadamer's theory. This theory is used to explore the internal and extrenal aspects of the text that influence the results of Nu'mÄn Ibn ḤayyÅ«n's representations.
