摘要：Various approaches are employed by exegetes to understand the Qur’an. One of those approaches is the linguistic approach. One of tafs ī r utilises the linguistic approach is Ḥāshiah al-Ṣ āw ī 'Alā Tafs ī r al-Jalālain . This article investigates the characteristics and the unique attribution of Ḥ āshiah al-Ṣ āw ī in its interpretation of the Qur’an, especially in the language rules usage through his examples in explaining the verses. This study employs a qualitative method to the data gathered from literature (library research) descriptively. The Data analysis technique used the Seidel model through several stages of the process, namely identifying the results of data collection through data clarification, license, analysis, and data categorisation. This research shows that Ḥ āshiah al-Ṣ āw ī 'Alā Tafs ī r al-Jalālain is an essential and comprehensive interpretation using a linguistic approach. Al-Ṣāw ī equipped his interpretation by explaining Nah wu (syntax), Ṣ araf (morphology), and the language rules application. He even quoting Alfiyyah Ibn Mālik , complete with its syi'ir which are very rare to do by other commentators to make his tafs ī r more comprehensive. Several characteristics in Ḥ āshiah al-Ṣ āw ī used a linguistic approach to the Qur’an utilising the Arabic principle of mubtadi (basic), especially in the ‘Irāb (inflection) discussion. In this study, Ḥ āshiah al-Ṣ āw ī 'Alā T afs ī r al-Jalālain can be categorised as an independent tafs ī r that differ from tafs ī r Al-Jalālain . Al- al-Ṣ āw ī not only explaining in detail tafs ī r Jalalain but also criticising and comparing it.
