Originally, this book was a scientific thesis submitted by the author to obtain a master's degree from the Department of Tafsir and Quranic Sciences at the College of Da'wah and Fundamentals of Religion at Umm Al-Qura University in 1426-1427 AH. This study focuses on tracing the effects of the predecessors in tafsir, the types of sciences, and the methods they followed in explaining the speech of Allah the Most High. It includes this gentle type of explanation, which indicates the predecessors' keenness to correct understanding of the meanings of the verses and to clarify the most authentic and complete meanings related to them. It is an encyclopedic interpretive reference, considered one of the high-level disputed books in the science of tafsir, studying the corrections of the predecessors and some of their objections to each other in tafsir. It includes an extensive study of eighty narrations of the predecessors' corrections, with their authentication, explanation of opinions, and their justification, along with evidence supporting and opposing them, and the preference among them. The study also distinguished itself by extracting precise issues from the proven principles of tafsir from the predecessors. The author has demonstrated in his book the picture of the differences among the predecessors in tafsir, and how some responded to others. This "Tafsir Jami'" contains more than 400 critical narrations of the sayings of the predecessors in tafsir, illustrating their jurisprudence in this science and how they transmitted it in their time. The writer has collected and authenticated these narrations from more than 100 volumes of supported tafsir. It also features a selected list of suggested topics for study and research through "Jami' Marwiyat." The book, in its subject, is among the best means to understand a range of tafsir knowledge and its fundamentals, such as the rules of preference in tafsir, causes of errors, tafsir by opinion and its conditions, and other sciences of this field. The study is divided into an introduction, a preamble, two chapters, and a conclusion, as follows: Introduction: discusses the importance of the topic and reasons for choosing it.
