Tafsir Gazur (original) (raw)

Tafsir Gazur, also known as jalāʼ al-adhhān wa-jalāʼ al-aḥzān, is an exegesis on the Quran in Persian by Abul al-Mahasin Husayn Ibn Hasan Jurjani, from the 8th to 14th centuries. The book was originally named Jala' al-Adhhan wa Jala' al-Ahzan. "Gazur" comes from the author's name. According to Aqa Buzurg Tihrani, he was one of the Shi'i scholars of the 10th A.H. /16th century. Tafsir-i Gazur is sometimes referred to as "an abridged version of the exegetical work of Abu al-Futuh Razi" despite having no reference to the latter. According to Ibn Yusuf Shirazi, some sections of this book were collected by Jurjani but others were compiled by Sayyid Gazur. This view is rejected by Urmawi.
