Asbab al-nuzul

Majma‘ al-bayan li-‘ulum al-Qur'an is a tafsir by the 12th century Imami scholar and author Shaykh Tabarsi.

This commentary is a comprehensive classical tafsir. Tabarsi was a moderate scholar and he presented the views of all major commentators fairly and comprehensively. He gives special prominence to Shi'i tafsir, but his work is not, strictly speaking, a Shi'i commentary. Tabarsi was a man of great erudition. He was a master of Arabic and a noted theologian and jurist.[1] The work is considered one of the most authoritative Imami Qur'an commentaries. Al-Tabrisi’s method is to take up one group of verses at a time and discuss qira’at, language and grammar before providing a detailed commentary on the text, based on both Sunni and Shi‘i sources and incorporating his own views. His commentary for each passages are divided into five sections: introductory discourse, reading guide, language discourse, revelation and circumstances surrounding it, and meaning[2]

Majma' al-bayan is written after Al-Tibbyan Fi Tafsir al-Quran and is clearly dependent on it.[3]
