Abstract

A long list of Persian Shiite commentaries that have been written since the Safavid period in Iran is proof of the influence that Mulla Hossein Kashfi had on them through his interpretation of the Mavaheb Aliyeh. In this article, relying on three Safavid period commentaries that were closer to the time of the author and author of Mohabeh, these usages have been traced. Interpretations such as:

1 .Tafsir of Tarjomat Al-Khwas or Tafsir of Zavareh by Ali Ibn Hasan Zavareh (written in 947 AH).

2 .Tafsir Manhaj al-Sadeghin authored by Mulla Fethullah Kashani (988 AD) and its summary.

3 .Tafsir Sharif Lahiji by Sheikh Muhammad bin Sheikh Ali Lahijani (1090 or 1095 AD)

What emerges in this research, in the way of a comparative study of several literary-religious texts, is that due to the presence of visible and hidden qualities in the translation of Tarjomat al-Khavas, we can consider the contribution of Kashfi's interpretation in the work of Zavara's interpretation, more than other sources. in the cases where he quotes from Kashifi, also respects the side of fairness and politeness, but Fethullah Kashani in the Manhaj, although in the translation of the verses and Mentioning moral or mystical sayings in Tafsir is much more than Zawari's, he has relied on the gifts against him and has included the items of gifts in the Manjha, but he has had less favors with Kashifi. Also, apart from Lahiji's commentary, in many other commentaries , the role of Pai Mohabeh is clearly evident.
