أثر الشعر في تفسير القرآن عند الشريف المرتضى : درر الفوائد و غرر القلائد إنموذجا

Abstract EN

It is no secret for biographers of people of knowledge and intellectuals that fields of knowledge differ in their significance and importance of their subjects, let alone if some scholars were versatile and of multipletalents.

Today, we stand before Al-Sharif Al-Murtadha, Ali s/o Hussein Al-Musawi Al-Baghdadi (355-436 AH), an authority of the Arab-Islamic thought, who had an evident impact in enriching the realm of knowledge for the followers of Ahlul-Bayt School with such numerous aspects of it that it is hard to encompass the entire production of this encyclopedic scholar.

Putting all these facts into consideration, we thought it would be convenient to shed a light on part of what this noble scholar added to knowledge by using his literature skills in interpreting the Holy Quran, considering the impact of poetry on the interpretation of Quran from the perspective of Al-Sharif Al-Murtadha.

As a sample, we used his book (Duraul-FawaidWaGhurarulQalaa'id) as a reference.

We did our research focusing on two levels: The first level is Al-Murtadha's methodology in interpreting Holy Quran.

After reviewing the methodology he adopted in his book (Al-Amaali), and becoming aware of his tendency to apply more than one approach in interpretation, we found it essential to discuss part of his methodology in interpretation including Quran-by-Quran interpretation, contextual interpretation, and interpretation by referring to poetic legacy.

The second level is the impact of poetry on the interpretation of Holy Quran as viewed by Al-Murtadha, since Arabic language and literature constitute a pivotal source in interpreting the Holy Quran that no exegete of Quran can dispense with.

To Al-Murtadha, the poetic evidence was very crucial in determining many connotations, be it for a particular word, an expression style, or even a single letter.
