Tafsir Safi (full name: al-Safi fi Tafsir Kalam Allah al-Wafi) is an exegesis of the Quran written by 17th century Shia scholar Mohsen Fayz Kashani.^[1] This commentary on the Quran, may also be classified as a work on Hadith, for it consists largely of citations from the Twelve Imams.^[2] It belongs to an era when most tafsirs relied "heavily on polemical hadith tradition buttressed by the accumulated wealth of hagiography and the euphoria of power after a long history of frustration" imposed on the Shias.^[3]
