Abstract :

One of the topics of Qur'anic and Hadith sciences is the discussion of Israelitism, which has been included in some Islamic texts, including the interpretations of the Qur'an. The commentators have had different encounters with Israelitism. Mughniyeh's "Al-Kashf and Al-Bayan" has been examined. Some of the results of the research are: Thaalbi has referred to Israelis in various topics and sometimes cited Israelis without mentioning documents or with weak documents. In the introduction of his commentary, he introduces storytelling as the best method for educating and influencing hearts, and perhaps for this reason, he has quoted the stories of Israel without making a critical comment about their content. Although, in rare cases, he chooses the authentic word by quoting the hadiths of Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.). However, with the aim of providing a youth-friendly and rational interpretation, Mughniyeh promises to avoid Israelitism in the introduction of his interpretation, and fulfills this promise in the text of the book, despite this, he has given narrations that either It is difficult to compare the sources of Bani Isra'il and Qawamis with the facts of Islam, but Mughniyeh, with its own foundations, apparently ignores them.
