Review and critique of textual and documentary evaluations of the narrations of the revelation causes in Tafsir Majma 'al-Bayyan fi Tafsir al-Quran

Tabarsi, in the introduction of his commentary, according to the hadith of Thaqalain, considered the Qur'an and the family of the Prophet (PBUH) as a means of guiding the people, which is a sign of the special position of the narration to him. Therefore, despite quoting a large number of narrations revelation causes in this commentary, his threefold mistakes in dealing with textual and documentary problems indicate  the commentator’s reportorial point of view in narrations and not the analytical one. Despite Tabarsi's criticisms of a small number of the texts of some of the narrations that have caused the revelation of Majma 'al-Bayyan, his attitude towards most of the narrations is thought-provoking. His position of silence in the face of texts that can be criticized by the criteria of the verses of the Qur'an, the dignity of the Holy Prophet, the intellect, history, political goals and personal hostility, is manifested, and in another case, his mistake in quoting the interpretation and examples of verses, His contradictory mention of the revelation causes under some of verses and chapters, Mentioning the date of revelation of verses as well as narrating the narrations that give more fictional aspect to the narration and even disproportion of some others with related verses, are considered as textual shortcomings in narrating narrations that cause revelation in the interpretation of Majma 'al-Bayan. The commentator's inattention to the field of narration document, including his mistake in attributing some narrations to Imam Mohammad Baqir, not mentioning the document and source in a considerable number of them, not choosing the correct narration according to the document or narrator, and also quoting the narration Among the opponents of the Infallibles, all of them are considered to be the shortcomings of Majma 'al-Bayan.
