Al-Kirmani is Imam Mahmud ibn Hamza ibn Nasr al-Kirmani, a scholar of Quranic recitations (Qira'at), a grammarian, and an exegete (mufassir). He authored the book "Ghara'ib al-Tafsir wa 'Aja'ib al-Ta'wil" (Peculiarities of Exegesis and Wonders of Interpretation) in response to the desire of scholars and students for the unusual and problematic aspects of exegesis. He cited a prophetic hadith about "the grammatical analysis of the Qur'an and seeking its peculiarities," and a saying from Ibn Abbas about "the unending wonders of the Qur'an."

In his book, Al-Kirmani presents the interpretation he approves of, then the "peculiar" (gharib), and then the "wondrous" ('ajib), even if he does not approve of it, and he may even criticize it. He stated that anything he described as "wondrous" contains the slightest flaw or requires reconsideration.

Scholars believe that Al-Kirmani included reprehensible opinions in his book, which Al-Suyuti and Tashkubriz transmitted and denounced. Examples include interpreting "Ha Mim 'Ain Sin Qaf" (حم عسق) as historical events, and interpreting "Alif Lam Mim" (ألم) as symbols related to the Prophet and disbelievers.

The book is suitable for specialists and students of knowledge in exegesis, recitations, and language, but it is not appropriate for the general public, due to the importance of being able to distinguish the correct from the erroneous and the right from the flawed among the opinions mentioned.
