انفرادات أبي مسلم الأصفهاني في تفسير الرازي : سورة طه أنموذجا

Abstract EN

This research focuses on the interpretive views and unique interpretations of the great scholar, Muhammad Ibn Bahr al-Asfahani (322 AH) which contradict the majority of the interpreters.

Because of the abundance of these views and interpretations and the difficulty of handling them in one research, this study is limited to what has been stated in the interpretation of Surat (Taha).

His nine exclusive interpretations and views were cited from the interpretation (keys of the unseen - the great interpretation -) of Imam Fakhr al-Din al-Razi «may Allah have mercy on him».

In this research I follow the inductive method by examining the statements of Al-Asfahani in Al-Razi’s exegesis and other interpreters.

Based on the evidences, justifications and points of agreement and disagreement among those interpreters, I opted for what I see fit in the light of the evidences of each side.

At the end, it has been concluded that those exclusive views are so valuable in proposing a new interpretation to those verses.

Despite the contradictions between Al Asfahani and other interpreters, Al-Asfahani’s views are acceptable opinions, as they do not contradict the general context of the verses.
