Abstract:

Some Determinations about Ibn Hibban's Exegetic Conception within The Framework of His Book of SahihIn this study, I tried to make some determinations on Ibn Hibban's exegetic conception in the framework of his monumental work Sahih which is on the science of Hadith. The author had tried much to understand hadiths. He tried to expose the meanings of hadith which are seen as contradictory with the rational and logical interpretations and some times with some verses. Ibn Hibban had tried also to interpret some verses which are mentioned in his work. Through the examination of his methods we can be able to reach some remarks regarding his exegetic conception.Ibn Hibban added to his book the reports related to the sabab an-nuzûl and the Prophet's explanations of verses but he never commented on them. This indicates to his eager of giving much importance to reports and sunnah in interpreting the verses.His comments on the understanding the verses have been scrutinized under an independent sub-title. He studied numerous verses in a multi-dimensional way concerning the words lexicon meaning and Arabic linguistical style. Moreover, he referred to the methods of interpreting the verses with verses and sunnah.Ibn Hibban, has tried to interpret the verses related to the separate subjects such as relation between the Prophet and his companions, fitrat, sifat Allah, ru'yat Allah, Muslim and non-Muslim relations. He also tried to interpret some verses which have legal content of Qur'ân. Consequently, although in his exegetic conception the method of report (riwayat) is dominant but he also refered to the method of dirayat.
