About “Tafsir Safi”

Tafsir Safi is an exegesis of the Qur'an written by the 17th century Shia scholar Mohsen Fayz Kashani. The commentary primarily draws from the teachings of the Twelve Imams and is considered a work on hadith. It was produced during a time when most tafsirs relied on polemical hadith traditions, supported by hagiography and the influence of power in the medieval period. The text reflects the religious and intellectual context of its time, focusing on Shia interpretations of the Qur'an. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
