discussed, and differences of opinion are evalu<strong>at</strong>ed. 120 An abridged version of this<br />
tafseer, from which the inauthentic narr<strong>at</strong>ions has been removed, was published in<br />
four volumes in the 1980s. 121<br />
7.<strong>Tafseer</strong> <strong>at</strong>h-Tha‘labee, al-Jawaahir al-Hisaan fee <strong>Tafseer</strong> al-Qur’aan<br />
Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Makhloof <strong>at</strong>h-Tha‘labee al-Jazaa’iree (d. 1472 CE/877<br />
AH) was a North African Maalikee scholar well known for his piety and<br />
knowledge. His tafseer was an abridgement of Ibn ‘Ateeyah’s tafseer, to which he<br />
added inform<strong>at</strong>ion from other famous classical tafseers, especially th<strong>at</strong> of <strong>at</strong>-<br />
Tabaree. The hadeeths mentioned were from all the well-known works, and<br />
Israa’eeleeya<strong>at</strong> were all evalu<strong>at</strong>ed. Ath-Tha‘labee lists some of the variant<br />
recit<strong>at</strong>ions and discusses some gramm<strong>at</strong>ical issues, but for the most part, his<br />
tafseer is a condens<strong>at</strong>ion and compil<strong>at</strong>ion of previous works with very little added<br />
from himself. 122<br />
8. <strong>Tafseer</strong> Jalaalud-Deen as-Suyootee, ad-Durr al-Manthoor fee <strong>at</strong>-<strong>Tafseer</strong> bi<br />
al-Ma’thoor<br />
Jalaalud-Deen ‘Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Muhammad as-Suyootee (1445-1505<br />
CE/849-910 AH) was a gre<strong>at</strong> Shaafi‘ee fiqh scholar, as well as the foremost<br />
hadeeth scholar of his time. At first, he wrote a four volume tafseer called<br />
Turjumaan al-Qur’aan, in which he placed over ten thousand hadeeths along with<br />
their chains of narr<strong>at</strong>ion. When he found his students uninterested in learning<br />
chains of narr<strong>at</strong>ion, he condensed the tafseer by deleting the chains and merely<br />
mentioned the books from which the hadeeths were taken. This tafseer was<br />
renamed ad-Durr al-Manthoor. In spite of his knowledge of the hadeeth sciences,<br />
he seems to have been only concerned with g<strong>at</strong>hering the largest possible quantity<br />
of hadeeths, without discrimin<strong>at</strong>ing between the true and the false. 123<br />
9.<strong>Tafseer</strong> ash-Shawkaanee, F<strong>at</strong>-h al-Qadeer<br />
Muhammad ibn ‘Alee ash-Shawkaanee (d. 1839 CE 1255 AH) was a resident<br />
of San‘aa, Yemen who started his quest for knowledge as a student of the Zaydee<br />
