Question:

Zujajat al-Masabih is pertaining to the Hanafi school of law, can you name scholars of hadith collections as being from the Hanafi school of thought. Which tafsir here is Hanafi Tafsir al-Jalalayn Tanwir al-Miqbas min Tafsir Ibn 'Abbas Ashab Al-Nuzul by Al-Wahidi Tafsir al-Tustari

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.

The book entitled Zujaajat-ul-Masaabeeh is a book about the evidence for the Fiqh issues in the Hanafi School of jurisprudence and its order is according to the order of Mishkaat Al-Masaabeeh by At-Tabreezi.

There are many scholars of Hadeeth who are affiliated to the Hanafi School and mentioning them requires a whole book. Indeed, many of them were mentioned in the books of Tabaqaat Al-Hanafiyyah (classes of the Hanafi scholars), like the book entitled Al-Jawaahir Al-Mudhiyyah fi Tabaqaat Al-Hanafiyyah, authored by 'Abdul Qaadir ibn Muhammad ibn Nasrul Allaah Al-Qurashi. However, the author who wrote about the Takhreej (referring each Hadeeth to its sources) of the Ahaadeeth of the (Hanafi) School was Imaam Az-Zayla’i in his book entitled Nasb Ar-Raayah li Ahaadeeth Al-Hidaayah.

As regards the book Tafseer Al-Jalaalayn, it is authored by Al-Jalaal Al-Mahalli and Al-Jalaal As-Suyooti, and they are both from the Shaafi’i School.

With regard to the book Tanweer Al-Miqbaas, it is attributed to Ibn ‘Abbaas  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him who was a Companion of the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) before the appearance of the Four Schools of jurisprudence. For more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 195943.

Concerning Asbaab An-Nuzool (the reasons of revelation), then this is not a Tafseer (interpretation of the Quran); rather, it is a book clarifying the reasons why the verses were revealed. Its author is Al-Waahidi who is of the Shaafi’i School of jurisprudence.

With regard to the Tafseer of At-Tustari, it is a book compiled by Abu Bakr Muhammad Al-Baladi who mentioned in it the verses on which Sahl ibn ‘Abdullaah At-Tustari commented. At-Tustari was an earlier Sufi Imaam who died in 283 AH.

Allaah Knows best.
