Summary/Abstract: This essay deals with the concept of al-tafseer al-riwa’î (the narrated exegesis) in the use of contemporary Muslim scholars; it shall argue that the term at-tafsir ar-riwa’i is not an obvious and consistent term as far as the classical tafsir tradition is concerned. The study shall also examine and assess the views forwarded in favor of the viability of of at-tafsir ar-riwa’i. In the end this paper shall aim to lay down the sound principles and foundations on which the use of al-tafsir al-riwa’î has to be based.
