شناخت و تحلیل چگونگی تفسیر آیات قرآن در متون نثر عرفانی غیرتفسیری پارسی

 In addition to the texts devoted to the interpretation of the Qur'anic verses, other texts also contain sporadic interpretations of the Qur’anic verses, among other things, which have not been considered from this point of view so far. The examination, extraction, and analysis of these interpretations have facilitated the understanding of the writers’ both the amount and sources of Qur'anic knowledge; moreover, it is a step towards the development of the sources of interpretation, especially those of the early Persian prose writers, which is due to their close proximity with the Qur’an's descent. Among these texts are the Persian mystical works adorned by Qur'anic verses, which are, similar to specific commentary texts of the Qur’an, worthy of further exploration. Since the earliest of these works have come to us from the fifth century AH, this paper reviews and analyzes the quantity of interpretations in the works of the monotheistic and mystical Iranian non-interpreter (from the middle of the 6th century) by perfect inductive method. It is worth noting that during the review of the mystical texts of Persian prose in these two centuries (about thirty works), with a total of 925 verses, including the repetitive verses, this interpretation covers approximately one-seventh of the Qur'anic verses. These verses have been interpreted based on nine different methods and approaches, most of which are mystical commentaries and the least are interpreted by theological and verse-by-verse commentaries. The deductive method is a special technique for the interpretation of the Qur'an, which is widely used in some of these works. The quantity and quality of the interpretations in the present study and their proportion to each particular text are illustrated by various diagrams.
