Jabir Ibn Abdullah Ansari and Method of Quranic Exegesis

This article, through the method of content and historical analysis, seeks to achieve the interpretation method of Jabir Ibn Abdullah Ansari. Without trying to infer all of Jabir's hadiths, the author has limited herself only to Jabir's narrations in the Exegesis of Majma' al-Bayan and some of his other hadiths. Based on this, it was not part of the flow of "negative tendency" in interpretation, and Jabir's interpretive traditions are of several types: expressing the meanings of words, reason for revelation of verses, determining the individual application of a verse, interpretation, and explanation of the verse, expressing the content of the verse, Quranic sciences, laws of jurisprudence and worship. Also, there are narrations from him that are useful in the field of history, the virtues of the Quranic chapters and the virtues of the Ahl-e- Bayt (a.s.) and are useful for the interpretation of the Holy Quran. A brief biography of Jabir and its important passages, Jabir's position in the eyes of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and the Ahl-e- Bayt (a.s.), and the report of Shia and Sunni religious sources' views on Jabir are also included in the article.
