Abstract:
The science of interpretation" Tafsir " has a great place among the forensic
sciences.Throughout the history of Islam, scholars have spent blessed efforts for
its sake, which were manifested in works and authorships, in which they revealed
the meanings of the Qur’anic text and its purposes in belief and legislation.
The Ibadis have made a great contribution to the service of the Qur’an, but a
significant percentage of their efforts in the science of interpretation is still trapped
on the shelves , waiting for a patient hand that preserves it from loss, and spreads
its benefit among the people.
There is no doubt that fulfilling the efforts of these figures and charting their
steps; Introducing their heritage is a scientific priority and a civilized necessity. To
continue to perform the duty of studying the Book of God Almighty and to
constantly consider its verses, to link the past with the present, and to formulate a
renewed thought related to the roots.
For this reason came my desire to achieve a part of this precious legacy, and
revive it and bring it out to the people as achieved, and to enable researchers to get
closer to the exegetical texts of Ibadi.
This research comes to the study and investigation of one of the books of
interpretation, which is: “A footnote to the interpretation of Dhul-Jalalayn by
Abu Ya’qub Yusuf bin Muhammad al-Musabi (T.: 1187 AH / 1773 AD).”The
text of the footnote is Al-Jalalain’s interpretation of Jalal Al-Din Al-Mahali (T.:
864 AH), and Jalal Al-Din Al-Suyuti (T.: 911 AH).
The parameters of the research are determined by the study section in which
the discussion was about a glimpse of the science of interpretation in the Ibadhis,
standing at the personality of Abu Ya’qub Al-Musabi, introducing his margin to
Al-Jalalain, and studying his method in it.As for the investigation section, which
was specified in the introduction and Surat Al-Baqarah, it was to extend the
verified text of Footnote to the interpretation of Dhul-Jalalayn with what it requires
of controlling the differences between copies, documenting the sources, and the
required extracts.
The study reached a number of results, including:
1. Abu Yaqoub contributed to the scientific movement in Djerba through his
full-time teaching at the Great Mosque, in Djerba, where he graduated groups of
students, as well as his authorship of nearly twenty titles, most of them in the art
of footnotes, until he was called the second stuffed after Muhammad bin Abi Omar
Abi Six.
2. Al-Musabi paid special attention to his footnote on Al-Jalalayn, as it is his
only title on interpretation, and its scientific value emerges through Al-Mas’abi’s
service for the interpretation of Al-Jalalayn for clarification, explanation and
supplementation. interpretation.

3. Al-Masabi's approach to dealing with the text of Al-Jalalain is based on
three foundations: The first - explaining and supplementing the words of Al-
Jalalayn, and comparing it with other interpretations. The second - dealing with the
verses of the Qur’an with clarification, completing what "Al-Jalalayn" omitted.
Third - using other methods of writing, although not explicitly stated, but examples
of which can be seen in the footnote.
4. Al-Musabi relied in his entourage on a variety of Ibadi and non-Ibadi
sources, numbering thirty-five sources, and these sources are distributed on
different arts.
5. A footnote to the interpretation of Dhul-Jalalayn earned a great rank among
the books of interpretation of the Ibadis, as it has won the admiration of the
translation books, as it is no less in status than what was written on the Jalalain
footnotes, or written in interpretation in general. However, like any human work,
it was not spared from some observations on the author's approach, such as the
expansion and the abundance of transmission, and the leniency in mentioning weak
hadiths on the virtues of the surahs
6. The investigation section of the footnote allowed us to find out the opinion
of the doctrine in twenty- six doctrinal issues, twenty-six jurisdictional issues, and
fourteen issues of Quranic sciences.
