Abstract

In the field of interpretation and understanding of the Holy Quran, referring to
hadiths is important. According to the Hadith of Saqalain, there is a deep and valuable link between Ahl al-Bayt and the Holy Qur'an. Therefore, the use of his statements has always been the focus and emphasis of Qur'an commentators. In the method of interpreting the Qur'an according to the Qur'an, as can be seen from the appearance of Allameh Tabatabai's words and interpretation, he interprets the Qur'an independently of the hadiths. He uses the Qur'anic verses themselves to interpret the verses. Ayatollah Javadi has also paid attention to this method of interpretation. However, the examination of the interpretation process of both commentators makes it clear that they have used the Sunnah to understand and interpret the verses as accurately as possible. From his point of view, hadiths do not directly interfere in interpretation. But in matters such as stating the example and description of the verse, generalizing the meaning of the verse, determining and explaining the details of the verses, etc. traditions can be used. Also, correct hadiths can strengthen or weaken interpretations, and this issue does not affect the self-sufficiency of the Qur'an to explain its meaning. In the field of hadith criticism, two high-ranking commentators do not limit themselves to document criticism, but also examine the content of hadiths and provide criteria for understanding hadiths and identifying true and false hadiths.
