Tafsir al-Quran
تَفْسِيرُ الْقُرْآنِ
Tafsir al-Quran by Mansur b. Muhammad al-Samaani (d. 489 AH / 1096 CE) is a six-volume classical Arabic tafsir produced within the Shafii and broadly Athari tradition of Khorasan. Its objective is to explain the Quran through the transmitted reports of the Companions and Successors, supplemented with Arabic linguistic analysis and attention to Shafii legal rulings derived from Quranic verses. The manhaj is tafsir bi-al-mathur, giving priority to narrated interpretations from the early Muslim community, and Samaani's Athari theological sensibility is visible in his treatment of passages relating to divine attributes. He was a renowned hadith scholar and jurist from the Khorasani tradition. The work is a respected classical reference consulted primarily by specialists in the Shafii and Athari scholarly traditions.
