al-Tafsir al-Wajiz
التَّفْسِيرُ الْوَجِيزُ
al-Tafsir al-Wajiz (The Concise Commentary) by Ali b. Ahmad al-Wahidi al-Naysaburi (d. 468 AH / 1076 CE) is the shortest and most accessible of the three tafsir works Wahidi produced, the others being al-Tafsir al-Basit (extensive) and al-Tafsir al-Wasit (intermediate). Contained in a single volume, its objective is to provide direct, concise meaning-level glosses on Quranic words and phrases, making it suitable for students and general readers seeking a brief explanatory reference without extended scholarly discussion. The manhaj is concise and accessible, with word-level explanations that represent the simplest entry point in al-Wahidi's graduated tafsir series. Wahidi was an Ashari Shafii scholar from Nishapur, the leading Quranic scholar of Khorasan in his era. The work is of historical significance as a classical pedagogical tafsir but is less commonly encountered in modern Islamic education. More...
