خلاصة:
Fayd Kashani is one of the most prolific Shiite scholars who has written numerous works. In this article, we become acquainted with his life, scientific status, and the intellectual and temporal developments in which he lived that were influential in understanding his Quranic works, and we provide an analysis of how his works were written, especially his two important commentaries, Safi and Asafi. At the beginning of the discussion, through the study of exegesis, we encounter the nature of his commentary, and for further investigation, we explain his interpretive foundations, principles, and methods, particularly Fayd's significant tendency in Tafsir al-Safi, which is his 'at-thari' (trace/evidence-based) method. Throughout this article, examples and evidence have not been omitted. Finally, discussions on Fayd's Quranic sciences, such as recitations (Qira'at), chronology, preservation, inimitability (I'jaz), and reasons for revelation (Asbab al-Nuzul), are raised.

1. Introduction Speaking about the interpretive foundations and methods of Fayd Kashani, discussing his biography, scientific status, intellectual transformations, and mentioning his works and writings, is useful and impactful only if it provides guidance to the audiences of the era and outlines the experiences of a wise personality for today's generation.
One of the main points of this treatise is the explanation and clarification of the foundations, principles, and methods of inferring meaning, and the identification of Fayd's sources and orientations in stories (qisas), theology (kalam), mysticism (irfan), and history, especially Isra'iliyyat, so that his interpretive tendencies and the characteristics of his Quranic works become clear in comparison with other commentaries of that era.
And then he expresses hope that he can explain in this book those places where the meaning is not well understood from the literal appearance of the verse, although Tafsir al-Safi is more effective in this role, and then, similar to Tafsir al-Safi but shorter, he says: "My only support in this tafsir is the word of the Infallible Imam from the Family of the Prophet, except in places where I wish to provide lexical explanations and clarify the concept of the speech; how could I turn from the literal toward interpretation (ta'wil) without being compelled to go to those who are the guardians of revelation (tanzil), in whose house Gabriel has descended?
He shows special attention to this method in explaining and clarifying the meanings of words and describing the context of revelation, and for understanding a verse, he relies entirely on hadith sources, to the extent that if no narration is available, he benefits from the book attributed to Ali ibn Ibrahim Qummi and his explanations.
