The Shi'a [[commentator]], [[Theology|theologian]] and [[ | The Shi'a [[commentator]], [[Theology|theologian]] and [[jurist]], Amin al-Islam Abu 'Ali Fadl b. Hasan al-Tabrisi was among the greatest scholars of 6th/12th. Many biographers have spoken about al-Tabrisi's scholarly position and have praised him well. There are different opinions about his birthplace whether he is from [[Mazandaran]] province or [[Tafrish]] (the possibility that Tabris is the Arabized pronunciation of Tafrish) in [[Markazi]] province, near [[Qom]] and [[Saveh]] (both in [[Iran]]). In any case, the scientific and intellectual personality of al-Tabrisi was formed in [[Mashhad]] and [[Sabzevar]] and was bloomed there. There, he taught different topics and there he became old and passed away. His grave is in Mashhad near the [[holy shrine of Imam al-Rida (a)]] at the beginning of a street named al-Tabrisi after him. | ||
Al-Tabrisi was among the multi-stylist commentators. He wrote three commentaries, ''Majma' al-bayan'', ''[[Jawami' al-jami']]'' and ''[[al-Kafi al-shafi]]'', the most comprehensive of the three is ''Majma' al-bayan'' and most compact of which is ''al-Kafi al-shafi''. According to what he has written at the introduction of ''Jawami' '', he saw the commentary ''[[al-Kashshaf]]'' after writing ''Majma' al-bayan'' and ''al-Kafi al-shafi'' and he was astonished by [[Zamakhshari]]'s great literary and eloquent discussions and his rational inclinations and thus he wrote a commentary more concise than ''Majma' al-bayan'' under the influence of Zamakhshari's ''al-Kashshaf'' and his eloquent approach. | Al-Tabrisi was among the multi-stylist commentators.

This commentary is very much influenced by [[al-Shaykh al-Tusi]]'s ''[[al-Tibyan]]'', with the difference that classifying issues, al-Tabrisi has helped the reader better benefit the text selectively. Those who are more interested in one section of the commentary can easily just refer to the recitation, literature and commentary of that section separately. ''Majma' al-bayan'' does not engage topic-based issues; rather it quotes Sunni commentators' ideas and criticize them using a scholarly approach. | ||
One of the most important advantages of this commentary is its establishment of relations between the verses in which further or apparently less connected verses were explained and from this perspective, al-Tabrisi can be considered among rarest Shi'a exegetes who have reflected on the relations between verses. | One of the most important advantages of this commentary is its establishment of relations between the verses in which further or apparently less connected verses were explained and from this perspective, al-Tabrisi can be considered among rarest Shi'a exegetes who have reflected on the relations between verses. | ||

He first reviews them regarding recitation and differences between recitations and judge their best (under the title of Hujja [proof]), then he discusses the vocabulary and difficult words, then talks about their diacritics, then he discusses the causes of revelation, then the general meaning of those verses and finally discusses the relation between those verses under the heading Nazm [order]. | ||
