Restoring Resources of the Tafsir Al-Qomi

One of the most significant characteristics of Shia heritage is said to be the fact that it is provided in written discourse. From their outset, Hadiths that are attributed to Prophet and Imams have always been conveyed to the next generation through books and Shia’s principles. Then, Authors of Hadith bookss, especially writers of The Four Books, gathered them together and provided a written script of them so that the old sources were gradually forgotten. Nowadays, these old sources may be restored via different processes, specifically using indexes of al- Najāshi, Tusi and etc. By applying this approach, the current study attempts to restore sources of Tafsir Al-Qomi. This exegesis is assumed to be one of the most important sources of Shai’s traditionary commentaries. Attribution of the Tafsir-e Al-Qomi to the Ali Ibn Ibrahim Al-Qomi is somehow doubted. Through employing the results of resource restoring, the present article sought to elucidate on the validity of sources and authors of the books from earlier authoritie's view. The authors’ ideology has also been clarified to some extent. Meantime, attempts have been made to present precise evidences of knowing the real writer of aforementioned book.
