The Use of Narrations on the Cause of Descent in the Interpretation of Ruz Al-Jinnan and Ruh Al-Jinnan

As one of the tools for understanding the themes of the Qur'an, the knowledge of Asbāb al-Nuzūl (Occasions or circumstances of revelation) has had an important impact on the development of writing commentary books. One of the important issues that seem necessary in the critical rereading of contemporary approaches to Asbāb al-Nuzūl is to outline how commentators care about the cultural heritage of the knowledge of interpretation. Commentary on "Rooz al-Jinnan and Ruh al-Jinnan" by Abul Fattuh Razi is one of the Shia commentary books of the sixth century with a theological-ijtihad approach. The current descriptive-analytical research of Baroosh has dealt with the role of narrations that caused Asbāb al-Nuzūl and the extent of the influence of the cultural atmosphere of that period in understanding the verses of the Holy Quran. The findings of the research indicate that the special care and attention of Abul Fattouh Razi to the narrations is the cause of Asbāb al-Nuzūl in such a way that in his opinion, such narrations have a close connection with the culture of the age of revelation. In order to better understand the verses of the Holy Qur'an, he has relied on many narrations and used them to evaluate the content or text, this is to the extent that some narrations have considered the cause of revelation to be ineffective in understanding the verses, and he has adopted criteria for criticizing the narrations. The present article describes the functions and critical criteria of Abolfatuh Razi and the quantitative level of each of these applications.
