Hadith based Quranic Exegesis

3. Historical Development of Hadith-Based Exegesis

This tradition of exegesis traces its lineage through the annals of Shia scholarship, finding its roots in the formative years of Islam. Early Shia scholars, such as al-Kulayni and al-Saduq, dedicated extensive works to the compilation and interpretation of Hadith. Their efforts laid a foundational groundwork for future scholars, who would grapple with the complexities of interpreting the Qur’an in light of the Hadith. Major texts such as ‘Al-Mizan fi Tafsir al-Qur’an’ by Allameh Tabatabai epitomize the depth and rigor of this scholarly tradition.
