2-7-2009 | IslamWeb

Question:

Assalamu Alaikum, there is a book attributed to Imam Ash-Shafi on tafseer. Did he really write a book on tafseer? JazakumAllahu kheirun.

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.

 

As far as we are aware of, there is no book about Tafseer that was written by Imaam Ash-Shaafi‘i  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him. However, there is a book concerning the rulings of the Quran “Ahkaam Al-Quran”, which was not directly composed by Imaam Ash-Shaafi‘i  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him himself. Rather, it was collected by Al-Bayhaqi  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him from the writings of Ash-Shaafi‘i  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him like Kitaab Al-Umm and others.

Allaah Knows best.
