Verses Related to Ahl al-Bayt in the Tafsīr of Muqātil b. Sulaymān: An Attempt to Criticize His Views

Among the verses that are discussed and disputed in the Shi'ite interpretations and Sunni interpretations, there is a difference in the interpretation of the verses related to the Ahl Al-Bayt (AS).Examining the interpretation of Muqatil ibn Sulayman, which is one of the old Sunni interpretations, shows that Muqātil under many of these verses refers to  He did not consider them as members of the Ahl Al-Bayt (pbuh) and considers them to be about other people, but examining the views of other Sunni commentators, many of which are against Muqatil's view, raises doubts about the validity of Muqatil's view about these verses.The present research, with a comparative-analytical method, after presenting the opinions of Muqātil ibn Suleiman under the relevant verses, has collected the views of some sources of Sunni interpretation under these verses.The examination of these interpretations shows that, unlike Muqatil, many narrations There is evidence of the virtues of the Ahl Al-Bayt (AS) in these interpretations. The results of the present research indicate the weakness of Muqatil's point of view about these verses and cause his opinion to be rejected about the related verses.
