The agreements between the two imams, Al-Dailami and Al-Mawardi, in the mutawatir readings through their interpretations "Al-Burhan" and "Al-Nukat wal-Uyun". A study from the beginning of Surah Maryam to the end of Surah Al-Ankabut. Comparative study

Abstract

This research aims to introduce the two imams, Al-Dailami (d. 444 AH) and Al-Mawardi (d. 450 AH), and to highlight their agreement on the mutawatir Quranic readings in their interpretations: Al-Burhan and Al-Nukat wal-Uyun. It also seeks to discuss the importance of these two books, their sources, and their significance as major references in the field of Tafsir. The researcher used the descriptive approach based on induction and analysis, when listing the issues in which the two imams agreed, and the issues in which each imam was unique. He also explained the doctrine of each imam and his approach to interpretation. The researcher also used the comparative approach when comparing the statements in which the two imams agreed and the statements in which each of them was unique. He addressed them with some commentary and supported them with the statements of scholars when they agreed or were unique, whenever possible. The researcher employed the historical inductive method to introduce the two imams and their books, and the descriptive method to highlight their agreements on mutawatir readings, their approach to presenting and directing them. The research is divided into two sections: the first section introduces the two imams, Al-Dailami and Al-Mawardi, and their books, while the second section discusses the agreements between them on mutawatir Quranic readings.

One of the most prominent findings of the researcher was that both imams, Al-Dailami and Al-Mawardi, discussed the mutawatir Quranic readings in their interpretations and gave them significant attention. They mentioned only the seven canonical readings and did not address the three additional readings that complete the ten. They both directed the mutawatir readings, explaining their impact on the meaning and on the interpretive and linguistic aspects. Regarding the attribution of the mutawatir readings to their reciters, Imam Al-Mawardi usually attributed them, whereas Imam Al-Dailami did not attribute them to their reciters, opting instead to express this using the passive voice with the term "Quri’a" (it was read).
