There are three methods of interpretation used by commentators to interpret the Qurâanic verses, by riwayah, knownas tafsîr bi al-maâtsûr, by logic known as tafsîr bi al-raâyi and by al-isyâri. From three methods of interpretation,according to Ibn Taymiyyah, tafsîr bi al-maâtsûr is the best method and valid. It is based on the belief that knows themeaning of the verse is Allah, the Prophet, and his companions. In fact, the commentary by al-maâtsûr, not the wholeverse is interpreted by the Prophet, or friends but the majority carried out by commentators with ijtihadnya in placingthe Qurâan, Hadith and friends opinion when interpreting a verse. Thus, differences in interpretation among commentatorsbi al-maâtsûr can not be avoided. In case of Abrahamâs son who was sacrificed, for example, between al-Thabari, Ibn Katsîr and Ibn âAthiyyah had different opinions and attitudes of understanding of the verses. Whiletheir interpretation is called tafsîr bi al-maâtsûr. Their different opinions indicate that al-tafsîr bi al-maâtsûr also needa review of the validity, especially related to commentatorâs thought in placing the explanation of Qurâan itself,Hadith and opinion in interpreting the Qurâanic verses
