An example of the Explanatory Questions for Surat An-Nisa presented by Al-Wahidi in His Simple Interpretation - Collection and Study

Abstract

Praise be to God, that is enough, and prayers and peace be upon the Chosen Prophet, his family, his companions, and those whom he guided, and after. This thesis dealt with studying the questions of Imam Al-Wahidi - may God have mercy on him - in his simple interpretation, and the questions that he mentioned are hypothetical or realistic issues that he raised. The study included forty places, of which four were mentioned by the Imam alone, and I did not find any commentators who said that, and the remaining places were studied in this message. Imam Al-Wahidi - may God have mercy on him - raised questions worthy of study and attention, especially the aim of which is to revolutionize the meanings of the Holy Qur’an, and to extract the most correct opinion regarding what the commentators differed on. Imam Al-Wahidi - may God have mercy on him - excelled in stating hypothetical issues. Answering them was a key for the reader to understand the dear book, whether he was a beginner or advanced student, as well as sheikhs and scholars. There were many benefits in studying these questions, and they were a great, useful, concise treasure containing many pearls.
