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.

:"''Majma' al-bayan'' is unique among commentaries. This commentary's comprehensiveness, depth and variety of topics, categorization and order are its unprecedented advantages among commentaries before it and rare in works after it."
