Corak Penafsiran Etika Sosial dalam Majma‘al-Bayan: Studi QS. Al-Hujurat Ayat 11–13

Abstract

As a scholar with a background in Im?miyyah Syi’ah, the intellectual trajectory of al-?abarsi presents an intriguing subject of study, as his thought is widely recognized for its moderation. Al-?abarsi did not adhere rigidly to the doctrines of the Syi’ah; rather, he demonstrated openness by engaging with ideas from outside his sect, including those of Sunni and Mu‘tazilah scholars. One of his most prominent works is Majma‘al-Bayan fi Tafsiri al-Qur’?n. This study aims to examine the interpretive characteristics of al-?abarsi in Majma‘al-Bayan fi Tafsiri and to explore how he interprets verses related to social ethics in S?rat al-?ujur?t (verses 11–13). The research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach. The findings indicate that al-?abars? was a moderate thinker despite his affiliation with the Im?miyyah Syi’ah tradition. His work Majma‘al-Bayan serves as a strong validation of this claim, as it reflects his willingness to cite opinions and hadith narrations from individuals generally viewed negatively within Syi’ah teachings. Furthermore, al-?abars?’s exegetical style combines several interpretive methods, namely the ta?lili (analytical) method, tafs?ir bi al-ma’tsur (interpretation based on transmitted reports), and tafs?r bi al-ra’y (interpretation through reasoned analysis).
