The Verses whose Occasions were Shaped by Ibnashour in his Interpretation: Collection and Study

Abstract

Objectives: The study aims to collect and study the verses whose occasions were formed in IbnAshour's interpretation and the reason for describing them with various descriptions such as strangeness, ambiguity, or invisibility, and to explain IbnAshour's directive to them in comparison with previous commentators and his additions and their scientific value.

Methods: The study used the induction approach to collect the positions that were formed, as well as the comparative analytical approach to analyze Bin Ashour's words in explaining their occasions in comparison to other previous interpreters such as al-Tabari, IbnAttia, al-Zamakhshari, and al-Razi, and clarifying areas of agreement and disagreement in directing those occasions and its impact on enriching the meanings of the verses.

Results: The study found that the number of verses whose occasions were formed was twelve places in his interpretation and demonstrated the diversity of descriptions given by Bin Ashour for occasions between verses such as strangeness, ambiguity, and invisibility, as well as his agreement with other commentators in some places and his discretion in others, taking into account the application of his method of order of the verses based on the order of recitation. He discovered the usefulness of the occurrences in modifying the meanings of the verses and investigating opinions.

Conclusions: Bin Ashour's interest in the science of occasions emerged as a result of the study, as did his efforts in directing the occasions between the verses and moving them around, which aids in understanding the verses and broadening their meanings.
