Al-Tafsir al-Basit (Arabic: التفسير الباسط, lit. 'The Large Commentary') is one of the earliest exhaustive classical Sunni Qur'anic interpretational works (tafsir) composed by the 11th century Islamic scholar, al-Wahidi. It is both his most important work, and by far the largest of his Qur’an commentaries consisting of 25 volumes.
This book is categorised as al-Tafsir al-Tahlili (analytical commentary). The reason is that Al-Wahidi thoroughly examines verse by verse, mufrad by mufrad, utilizing only grammar and language in general.
