The Position of Zeid Ibn-Ali in Quranic Sciences and Quran Commentary

Using a descriptive-analytic method and recognizing Quranic works of Zeid Ibn-Ali, the current paper seeks to expound his position in Quranic sciences and commentary. Using Halif al-Quran as an attribute for him is an indication that he is intensely ties with Quran. Zeid was famous due to his recitation of Quran and some have collected his works in a book. His ((Madkhal Ila Quran and Tafsir Li Mawadi` Mokhtarah Minh)) includes preliminary discussions necessary for interpretation and the interpretation of some verses. It is likely that he composed the interpretation of Fatiha verse and some of the Quran verses while he was imprisoned in Koufa for five months. Also it is likely that his (Al Rad Ala al-Qadariyeh min Quran) is the same as (Al Rad al al-Mojarrabah) that is published in his collection of nooks and reports. Based on the verses of Quran, Zeid wrote (Al-Saffwah) in order to prove the superiority of Ahl al-Bayt and he proved why there is the lack of legitimacy of the majority from the view point of Quran in his (al-Ghala`a and Aksara). If confirmed that it is his, the (Gharib al-Quran) interpretation is the first interpretation in Gharib al-Quran.
