Abstract
The verses of the Qur’an enjoy commentaries besides what is inferred from their meanings and the Ahl al-Bayt (as) are the finest source for obtaining these commentaries since they are regarded as being on par with the Qur’an, according to Ḥadīth al-Thaqalayn. The majority of hadiths provide the Qur’anic verses with commentaries; while commentary narratives are not separated from interpretational narratives in narrative books and interpretations. As a result, it is critical to distinguish between the two types of narratives and identify the nature of each commentary. This article aims to answer the question of what kinds of commentaries have been provided for the verses on the Hajj in commentary narratives. Regarding this, the commentary narratives related to Hajj verses were extracted from the interpretational narratives below those verses based on the terminological meaning of the commentary of the Qur’an in verses and narratives. Using the descriptive-analytical method, it was found that these narratives contain four different types of commentaries: the given verse’s internal meaning, its internal example, its example over time (both inclusion and generalization (jari and intibaq)), and examples of its specificity (itlaq) or generality (umūm).
