Tafsir al-Quran al-'Adhim - Ibn Abi Hatim ar-Razi (327H)

Here is one of the most famous Tafsir of the Salafs, on the common methodology of the first generations which was the Tafsir according to the Hadiths and Athars.

Hafidh ibn Abi Hatim ar-Razi (327H) reported in his Tafsir only 4 levels of Athars: the Hadiths of the Prophet, then the Tafsir of the Sahabahs, then Tabi'in, then Tabi Tabi'in and finally those who followed these.

His Tafsir is complete, verse by verse, when it's not word by word, until Surat al-Hud, then by selected Surah after that.

The Tahqiq and annotations on the book are exemplary, and extremely useful to the student and the researcher regarding the chains of transmission. The scientific introductions are very thorough, they cover the entire first volume. Finally the last 3 volumes are dedicated to the summary and index of research, we recall and give a short biography of all the men whose Ibn Abi Hatim took the hadith, then finally a summary of Athar and Hadith Surah by Surah.

Wonderful Saudi edition in 16 volumes.
