حضرت عبداللہ بن عباس کا منہجِ تفسیر :تفسیر القرآن بالقرآن کے اسلوب کا تحقیقی جائزہ

Abstract

Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas﷠, Hibrul Ummah and Tanrjuman-ul-Quran, is considered among those “Sahabahs” (Companions of the Holy Prophetﷺ) who interpreted Quran. During the time of Sahabaa﷢, Tafseer-ul-Quran-bil-Quran was in voge in the manner of Tafseer-bil-Masor. Nabi Akram ﷺ himself has adopted this style of interpretation of the Quran. Whenever a Sahabi asked him to explain any verse of the Quran, He used to recite another verse in response. This style of exegesis is found profusely in the interpretation of Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas﷠. We find him performing tozeeh-e-mushkil and tabyeen of mubhim in a verse by reciting another verse of the Quran. He also adopts takhsees-e-aam and sometimes he interprets the Quran in the light of ikhtilaf-e-qiraat. In this article I have sought to investigate the style of interpretation of Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas﷠so that his method of interpretation may become clear to us. It is the utmost essential to understand the interpreting style of Sahabahs to properly comprehend the Holy Quran so that we may not astray in interpreting this Holy Book.
