Overview
Al-Qurtubi assembled his Qur'an commentary in fifteen volumes, explained the Most Beautiful Names of God in two (al-Asna), and wrote al-Tadhkira on the matters of the hereafter, a commentary on al-Taqassi and other useful works 1. Al-Dhahabi said caravans carry his great commentary 2. The tafsir stands out for its wealth of hadiths, its attention to deriving rulings and clarifying the Law's meaning, and its sparing use of isra'iliyyat 3.
