Is Dr. Muhammad Hussein Al-Dhahabi's book "Al-Tafsir wal-Mufassirun" a good book, considering that it addresses the early exegetes and their methodology, as well as the Sufis and Ash'aris and their methodology in exegesis, and clarifies their deviation from the methodology of the Salaf?
Dr. Muhammad Sayyid Al-Dhahabi’s book, "Al- wal-Mufassirun" (Exegesis and Exegetes), is a doctoral dissertation considered the first comprehensive study of the methodologies of exegetes. It covered exegesis during the era of the Messenger, the Companions, and the Successors, as well as the methodologies of exegesis by transmitted tradition (bi al-ma'thur), and by praiseworthy and blameworthy opinion (bi al-ra'y), and the interpretations of philosophers and Sufis. The book also addressed the emergence of jurisprudential exegesis (al-tafsir al-fiqhi) and scientific exegesis (al-tafsir al-'ilmi). The book is beneficial for students of knowledge interested in studying exegesis, its history, and its methodologies.
