Mujahid ibn Jabr

Mujahid ibn Abū al - Hajjaj Dschabr ( مجاهد بن جبر أبو الحجاج, DMG Muǧāhid b Ǧabr, Abū l - Ḥaǧǧāǧ; . * Around 641, † 722) was a client of the Meccan clan Machzūm, who worked as Koranreziator in Mecca and created its own commentary on the Qur'an. This comment is not received in the original, but it was obtained in the last decades on the basis of quotations in al - Tabari's commentary on the Qur'an, as well as an autonomously in Egypt as handwriting (Cairo, Dār al - Kutub, Ms. 1075 Tafseer ) review of the work on the Iraqi tradition Aryan Warqa ʾ ibn ʿ Umar (d. 776 ) back, reconstructed.

His review is not only get in the Cairo manuscript, but also been used by al-Tabari in his commentary on the Qur'an. Georg Stauth who has compared the two versions of the Warqa ʾ - review, concludes that the text has been subsequently smoothed grammatically and syntactically in at- Tabari. Another well-known person to whom Ibn Abī Nadschīh mujahids Comment mediated, was the Kufic legal scholar Sufyan ath - Thawri.
