The Shi'a [[commentator]], [[Theology|theologian]] and [[jurist]], Amin al-Islam Abu 'Ali al-Fadl b. al-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.<ref>Ayāzī, | The Shi'a [[commentator]], [[Theology|theologian]] and [[jurist]], Amin al-Islam Abu 'Ali al-Fadl b. al-Hasan al-Tabrisi was among the greatest scholars of 6th/12th.

Al-Tabrisi was among the multi-stylist commentators. He wrote three commentaries, ''Majma' al-bayan'', ''[[Jawami' al-jami']]'' and ''[[al-Kafi l-shafi]]'', the most comprehensive of the three is ''Majma' al-bayan'' and most compact of which is ''al-Kafi l-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 l-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.<ref>Ayāzī, | Al-Tabrisi was among the multi-stylist commentators.

This commentary covers topics such as: recitation, diacritics, glossary, difficult words, semantics, [[occasion of the revelation]] of [[verses]], related narrations and elaboration of stories. 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.<ref>Ayāzī, | This commentary covers topics such as: recitation, diacritics, glossary, difficult words, semantics, [[occasion of the revelation]] of [[verses]], related narrations and elaboration of stories.

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.<ref>Ayāzī, | 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.<ref>Ayāzī, ''Shinākhtnāma-yi tafāsīr'', 1378 Sh, p. 240.</ref> | ||

[[Al-Tabrisi]]'s method in ''Majma' al-bayan'' is that he first mentions some of the [[verses]] of a [[sura]], then he explains them under different titles from perspectives of various sciences. 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]. | [[Al-Tabrisi]]'s method in ''Majma' al-bayan'' is that he first mentions some of the [[verses]] of a [[sura]], then he explains them under different titles from perspectives of various sciences.
