Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Quran Per Islam Qur'anic Commentary, Its Advent and Development Commentary on the words and expressions used in ii Qur'an began at the time of the first revelation. The Prophet himself undertook the teaching of the Qur'an and d explanation of its meanings and intent. Thus, in chapter XVI: 44 God says, "And we have revealed you the Remembrance that you may explain to mankind that which I been revealed for them.

" And He says in LXII: 2, "He it is Whole sent among the unlettered ones a messenger of their own, to recite to the His revelations and to make them grow and to teach them the Scripture and wisdom. "At the time of the Prophet a group of men, on his order were instructed to read, record and learn the Qur'an by heat When the Prophet's companions passed away, other Muslim took over the responsibility of learning and teaching the Qur'an; and so it has continued until the present day.

The Science of Qur'anic Commentary and the Different Groups of Commentators After the death of the Prophet a group of his companions, including Ubayy ibn Ka'b, 'Abd Allah ibn Mas'üd, Jabir ibn 'Abd Allah a1-An~?ri, Abü Sa'id al-Khudri, 'Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar, Anas, Abü Hurayrah, Abü MUs?, and, above all, the famous 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abb?s, were occupied with the Science of Commentary.

Just as they had heard the Prophet explaining the meanings of the verses, they would transmit it orally to other trustworthy persons. The traditions specifically concerned with the subject of Qur'anic verses number over two hundred and forty; many were transmitted through weak chains of transmission and the texts of some have been rejected as incorrect or forged.

Sometimes the transmission would include commentaries based on personal judgments rather than on a narration of the actual sayings, hadith, from the Prophet. The later Sunni commentators considered this kind of commentary as part of the body of Sayings of The Prophet, since the companions were learned in the science of Qur'anic commentary.

They argued that these companions had squired their knowledge of this science from the Prophet himself and that it was unlikely they would say anything, which they themselves had invented. There is, however, no absolute proof for their reasoning. A large proportion of these sayings, or traditions, about the reasons and historical circumstances of the revelation of verses do not possess an acceptable chain of narration.
