In Tafsir Tabari, Imam al-Tabari compiles a majestic and thorough commentary on the Qur’an that blends tafsir bi-al-ma’thur (interpretation based on transmitted reports), early authoritative opinions from the Sahaba and Tabi‘un, and linguistic-grammatical analysis. The set stands out for its meticulous attention to transmission chains, its inclusion of multiple viewpoints, and its grounding in classical Islamic scholarship — making it a cornerstone reference in qur’anic sciences and tafsir tradition.
