Tafsir al-Baghawi (Ma'alim at-Tanzil)

معالم التنزيل

A moderately sized tafsir that strikes a balance between the narration-based approach of at-Tabari and the more concise style of later works. Al-Baghawi, known as 'Muhyi as-Sunnah' (Reviver of the Sunnah), focused on sound narrations and clear explanations while avoiding fabricated reports. Ibn Taymiyyah praised it as being better than Tafsir al-Tha'labi because al-Baghawi avoided weak and fabricated narrations.
