Özet:

One of the works that has an important place in the tradition of tafsir is Abu Hayyan al-Andalusian’s (d. 745/1344) commentary called al-Bahr al-muhît. Al-Bahr al-muhît commentary, which is described as an unprecedented work for the time it was written, is important in terms of reflecting the Andalusian and Sunni tafsir tradition, as well as in terms of the Arabic language, recitation and the tradition of criticism in tafsir. There is also a literature written by various authors, including Abu Hayyan's students about this work, which served as a source for many later commentaries, especially Samin al-Halabi's (d. 756/1355) tafsir called al-Durr al-masun has occurred. These studies on al-Bahr al-muhît, which has recently been the subject of academic research in various countries of the world, are concentrated in the Arab world; in our country and in the West, it is seen that it is not at the desired level. However, the increase in the number of academic studies on the work in our country should be considered as a positive development. In this article, academic studies on al-Bahr al-muhît commentary in Turkey, in the Western world, in the Arab world and in some countries in North Africa where it is Abu Hayyan was a stopover on his journey to Egypt were examined. In this article only academic researches consisting of directly written books, articles, theses and papers about al-Bahr al-muhît commentary included. This study, which was prepared with the qualitative research method, was created by scanning various databases and catalogs as well as printed sources. At the end of the study, quantitative research method was also used in terms of giving statistical information about al-Bahr al-muhît commentary. At the end of the study, the majority of the academic studies on the interpretation of al-Bahr al-muhît commentary consisted of those made in the Arab world; it has been observed that academic studies in Turkey and the Western world lag far behind the Arab world in terms of number and subject variety. In addition, the majority of these studies are composed of theses and articles; it has been seen that the number of books on the interpretation of al-Bahr al-muhît is far behind the estimate. This situation is one of the most important obstacles in front of academic studies on the work reaching large masses. At the end of this study, a total of 295 academic studies were identified, including 36 books, 1 book chapter, 76 master’s, 88 doctoral theses, 91 articles and 3 papers on al-Bahr al-muhît commentary. When the studies are examined on a regional basis, it is seen that was made total of 266 studies; in our country 25 studies including 2 books, 3 master's, 5 doctoral theses, 14 articles and 1 paper; in the Arab world including 33 books, 73 masters, 82 doctoral theses, 76 articles and 2 papers and in the West 4 studies, including 1 book, 1 book chapter, 1 doctoral thesis and 1 article. It has been observed that the encyclopedia article on al-Bahr al-muhît commentary has not been written in the Arab world and in the West, and the article written in our country is in the revision stage. In our country, repetitive and continuation articles draw attention. In these three geographies, where the work is mainly studied in terms of linguistics and recitation, it is possible to state that academic studies about the work concentrate on linguistics, tafsir methodology and recitation in our country; linguistics, preference phenomenon, recitation and comparison in the Arab world, and linguistics in the West. While academic studies on al-Bahr al-muhît commentary in these three geographies focus on linguistics and qiraat, it is seen that linguistics, tafsir methodology and qiraat in our country, linguistics in the Arab world, preference phenomenon, recitation and comparison, and linguistics in the West. As a result of this research, which aims to shed light on future studies on the work to be done in our country and to prevent duplication in these studies, by presenting data on academic studies on al-Bahr al-muhît commentary, as well as introducing Abu Hayyan and his tafsir, it is aimed to give a hand to the researchers in our country, where it is seen that few studies on the work have been it would be appropriate to suggest that accelerating academic research on the interpretation of al-Bahr al-muhît; that the work should be examined primarily in terms of Sunni tafsir methodology, Qur'anic sciences, especially the relationship between verses and its effect on subsequent works.
