Validation ofthe Exegetical Traditions of ʹAli b. Ibrahim in TaIBir ofQ!nmni

This article reviews the validity of the interpretation ascribed to ʹAli b. Ibrahim. The extant Tafsir of Qummi is a collation of the traditions of Abo a1-FaQI a1-ʹAbbas from ʹAll b.

Ibrahimʹs exegetical traditions in Kitiib al-KiiJi and while comparing them one by one with Qummtʹsexegetical traditions, he has encountered only one conformed example. With a research made into the chains of transmission of ʹAli b. Ibrahimʹs exegetical traditions, it was clarified that there are weak narrators in the chains of transmitters who are accused of falsehood, exaggeration, and fabrication of l.>adIth; and it is clear that ʹAli b. Ibrahimʹs authentication is not applicable to these people. With an examination of the textual criteria and quality of the exegetical traditions of Qummi, it was made clear that some of Qunniʹs exegetical traditions are not compatible with the legal and rational standards, among which are the traditions that have violated the infallible status of the Prophets. Furthermore, fabrication of l.>aJlth and superstitions are clearly evident in many of them. Accordingly, it is concluded that the tafslr that has been at Shaykh Kulayniʹs disposal is different from the tafslr which now we have in hand
