The impact of the Prophet’s Hadith on the weighting of the interpretation (Study on models in Tafsir al-Tabari and Ibn Kathir)

Abstract

This research is concerned with a comparison between the two venerable imams Ibn Jarir and Ibn Kathir - may God have mercy on them - in the weighting between sayings based on the noble Prophetic Hadith, in order to know the aspects of agreement and disagreement between them through places in their interpretation. In this respect, the Hadith of scholars and researchers was limited to the preponderance of the Prophetic Sunnah according to the commentators, or the classification of the preferences of the two Imams - may God have mercy on them - separately, regardless talking about the comparison between the most important two venerable Imams who were distinguished by the modern workmanship in their interpretation. So this research, tagged with: "The impact of the Prophet’s Hadith on the weighting of the interpretation) Study on models in Tafsir al-Tabari and Ibn Kathir)", came to find out the points of agreement and differences between them in the weighting between the sayings through the honorable Prophetic hadith. In writing his research, the researcher relied on three scientific approaches: the inductive approach, the comparative approach, and the analytical approach. Then the researcher concluded several results, the most prominent of which were: the emergence of the value of the noble Prophet’s hadith in resolving the dispute and weighting between the sayings, and that reliance on it is not limited to the weighting of one saying over others, without explaining its connotations in the weakening of other sayings, and that the exegete is limited to the saying that others preferred. From the exegetes indicates his agreement with them, just as the weakness of his saying in the interpretation of the verse does not necessitate his weakness at all.
