Reference to AI-Kashshaf in AI Mizan

In examining a commentary book on the Qurʹan, it is important to consider the method used by the commentator, his doctrinal tendency, reasoning, language and expressiveness, and also to see how the commentary is documented. What is of equal importance is to investigate what sources are referred to and how. The late Mohammad Hossein TabatabaʹiʹsAl-Mizan is one of the most important Shiʹite interpretations of the Qurʹan. In his commentary on the Qurʹan, Tabatabaʹi has widely referred to Mahmood Zamakhshariʹs Al-Kashshaf, an important commentary on the Qurʹan, to support his literal and conceptual arguments. In this paper, the author compares the two commentaries on the Qurʹan to explore the method employed by Allama Tabatabaʹi for using and referring to Al-Kashshaf.
