Tafsir Al-Wasit
Al-Wasīṭ fī Tafsīr al-Qurʾān al-Majīd (), commonly known as Al-Tafsir al-Wasit () is one of the earliest classical Sunni Qur'anic interpretational works (''tafsir'') composed by the 11th century Islamic scholar, al-Wahidi. A moderate-sized commentary, balanced between scholarly depth and accessibility. This book is categorised as Musnad al-Tafsir (tradition-based interpretation). The reason is because he utilizes Hadith and statements from the early generation of Muslims for commentary. Background This work, which al-Wahidi brought back into the fold of the classical technique and its catholic hermeneutical approach to the Qur'an, which his master al-Tha'labi had perfected, was conceived somewhere during the draughting of '' Tafsir al-Basit''. This work is centred on the content that al-Basit rejected.

Sunni
Sunni Islam is the largest branch of Islam and the largest religious denomination in the world.

This contrasts with the Shia view, which holds that Muhammad appointed Ali ibn Abi Talib () as his successor. Nevertheless, Sunnis revere Ali, along with Abu Bakr, Umar () and Uthman () as ' rightly-guided caliphs'. The term means those who observe the , the practices of Muhammad. The Quran, together with hadith (especially the Six Books) and (scholarly consensus), form the basis of all traditional jurisprudence within Sunni Islam.

According to American scholar Samuel Ross, there are 2,700 Qur’an commentaries extant in manuscript form, and 300 commentaries have been published. Considering that around 96% of the Arabic-language manuscripts remain unstudied, Ross argues that "by extrapolation there may be thousands of additional commentaries still waiting to be discovered."
