İbn Hajar's Approach to Quranic Commentary and Sciences in the Context of the Work of Fath Al-Bârî


Ibn Hajar al-Askalânî has an exceptional place in the science of Hadith. His work titled Fath al-Bârî is one of the important commentaries written on Bukhari's Sahîh. In this commentary, it is possible to come across the interpretation of the verses, the method followed by the commnetary and some approaches of the Quran. Ibn Hajar is highly dependent on the thought previously brought about by the earlier Islamic ideal tradition. However, this does not mean that she did not criticize the tradition at all. Ibn Hajar adopted the narrative-weighted method of revelation, explained the preference among the narrations, sometimes made depictions to reconcile the narrations, and sometimes refused them. He relied on the legitimacy of the tafsir narrations and made explanations for the understanding of this, he made comparisons between the tafsir's views and examined the view that he believed to be true for reasons. Respectively, he determined the Qur'an as a method for him to interpret with the Qur'an, Sunnah, Sahabah/tabiun and language rules, and by this he revealed the importance of acting with a certain and correct method for commentary. Meanwhile, the importance of copyrighting among the verses has led him to act more carefully in accepting extinct verses. It is admirable that he reconciles the verses that seem to be opposite to the mind. Ibn Hajar was careful about the narrations of descend. His rejection of the problematic causes of proof proved that he had a strong identity due to narrations and that it was possible to understand the verses without condemning them to strange and exceptional narrations. While benefiting from the Israelites, he did not take the narrations that harmed the sinless existence of the prophets, and even devoted more time to the interpretation of the verses that would constitute this idea in his mind. Our aim in this article is to reveal his views on the Qur'an and its Sciences in detail with his sample verse explanations and his style of analysis, interpretation and approach while interpreting the verses.
