Al-Tabari's Criticism inCollection of Statements (JamiʿAl-bayān) of Al-Farra's Directives in the meanings of the Holy Qur'an "An Applied Study"

Abstract

The Research Question: The most important question is the vagueness of the name Al-Tabari to the name of Al-Farra’ and considering his opinion as the majority opinion of the Kufis, if the stated provision is the provision of Al-Farra’ in the meanings of the Qur’an, and he concurredwith him in many of what was mentioned. However, I devoted the research to provisions of what he criticized and objected to, which are few, and I diversified them between readings, interpretation, language, and grammar.- The Research Intent: to clarify the importance of constructive criticism,to state of Al-Tabari's approach in his criticize, and to state his terminology in criticism.- Division of the research: I divided the research into four researches, the first in readings, the second in interpretation, the third in language, and the fourth in grammar, whereasthere are two issuesin each research.- From Search Results: Al-Tabari was a scholar and mujtahid, so he is not attributed to Basra or Kufa.One of his methods in his interpretation is the ambiguity of the source from which he was taken, concurredwith him or criticized him; Perhaps that was the prevailing approach at the time.
