چکیده:
One of the sources of interpretation of the holy Quran is narration. Some interpreters suffice with reporting narrations while some others critique and analyze them. Al-Manar by Abdoh and Rashid Reza and Al-Furqan by Ayotollah Sadeqi Tehrani belong to the second group which critically look into the evidence and text of the narrations. The aim of this research is to have a comparative study of the analytical methodology concerning the narrations in the exegeses of Al-Manar and al-Furqan to see the way Sheikh Abdoh، Rashid Reza and Sadiqi Tehrani have treated the interpretative narrations. Moreover، the similarities and differences in the methodologies of these exegetes in their treatment of contradictory narrations have been discussed. This research concludes that 1. unlike what is commonly understood، not only in both exegeses the narrations are used for the purpose of interpretation، but also the exegetes have critiqued and analyzed the narrations، and 2. although the exegetes have employed both the methods of critiquing the evidence and textual analysis، yet textual analysis has been their major approach to their critique of the narrations in these exegeses. For this purpose، they have introduced certain criteria، such as the agreement of the narration and the holy Quran، definitive tradition and the principles of religious law، the Intellect، and definitive history، though they did not ignore the contradictory narrations and have tried in different ways to explain away the contradiction.
خلاصه ماشینی:
Al-Manar commentary by Abduh and Rashid Rida, and Al-Furqan by Ayatollah Sadeqi Tehrani, belong to the second group, which has approached narrations with a critical eye, examining both their chains of transmission (isnad) and their content (matn).
The aim of this research is a comparative exploration of the methods of analyzing, criticizing, and investigating narrations in the two commentaries, Al-Manar and Al-Furqan, to thereby identify the manner in which Sheikh Abduh, Rashid Rida, and Sadeqi Tehrani confront and interact with interpretive narrations, as well as to demonstrate the methodological similarities and differences of these commentators in dealing with conflicting narrations.

Ayatollah Sadeghi, in relation to the commentators of al-Manar and especially Rashid Reza, has placed more emphasis on the criterion of conformity with the Quran; therefore, in many cases, he has considered hadiths without an isnad or with a weak isnad to be in agreement with the Quran.
Ayatollah Sadeghi and Rashid Reza also in the tafsirs al-Manar and al-Furqan have paid special attention to the textual criticism of interpretive narrations, in such a way that the textual criticism of a narration takes precedence over its isnad criticism, and the commentators have employed different criteria in the criticism and examination of narrations.
