Özet:

The Islamic scientific tradition derives its strength from its sources and the interaction of scholars. Naturally, this interaction has also manifested itself in the context of recitation disputes, which are the indispensable material of almost all interpretation sources. In the center of our work, there are the interpretations of al-Zamakhsharī (d. 538/1144) and Rāzī (d. 606/1210), who have benefited greatly from the authentic recitation disputes. The viewpoints of both exegetes on authentic recitations are different from each other. While linguistic data is at the forefront in al-Zamakhsharī’s comments about recitations, Rāzī attaches importance to narration and it is understood that he based off transmissions of recitations to the Prophet. Despite this, Rāzī sometimes preferred one of the two wajihs of an authentic recitation while evaluating authentic recitations, sometimes he described an authentic recitation as shaz, and sometimes he criticized one of the authentic vajihs in terms of syntax rules. It is seen that Rāzī, who defines vajihs that seven imams of qiraat agree with or the recitation of most of these imams, as famous/common recitation, generally directs his criticisms to single or minority imam’s recitations. However, the language scholars’, from whom Rāzī made use of, especially al-Zamakhsharī, had a great influence in his critique of authentic recitation. While evaluating the recitations, Razi attributed the quotations he made from al-Zamakhshari to him, mostly by giving his name, and sometimes he quoted it without specifying his name. In our study, Rāzī’s critical approach to authentic recitations will be analyzed through various examples. In the meantime, the views of the language scholars, who are the source of Rāzī’s determinations, will also be touched on, but more attention will be drawn to the effect of al-Zamakhsharī.
