Preference Based on Narratives in Interpretation

(An Analytical Study)

Abstract

Preference based on narrations in interpretation examines the preference and strengthening of one interpretation based on narrations from the interpretation of the Qur'an, the Sunnah, and the sayings of the Companions and Followers. This approach is considered one of the strongest methods of preference because it relies on authentic sources for understanding texts. Preference based on narrations is particularly evident when opinions conflict, as the opinion supported by textual evidence is given precedence over others. This type of preference is evident in determining the correct understanding of verses. The study also discusses the criteria for preference based on narrations and the scholars' positions on conflicting narrations. It concludes that preference based on narrations is a method that takes precedence over other methods. The research problem lies in how to weigh the correct interpretations of the verse against weak interpretations. The objective is to identify the correct interpretations of these interpretations, using an analytical approach. The research is divided into an introduction, two chapters, and a conclusion. It follows a scientific methodology in attributing verses, classifying hadiths and reports, documenting texts, and listing sources and references.
