Sahabenin Tefsirde İsrailiyata Bakışı
The Companions’ Outlook on Israiliyat in Commentary of The Qur’an

Summary/Abstract: According to the generally accepted view, the entrance of Israiliyat to the commentary of The Qur’ân dates back to the era of The Companions’ activities. It is well-known that The Companions received some information from The People of Book and used it as a source on the commentary. Some of the issues are not discussed in detail in The Qur’ân (such as some stories and parables) attracted The Companions’ attention and they wanted to learn their details and fiil in the blanks. In this case their main sources of help were some people from The People of Book who converted to Islam. It is controversial if The Companions evaluated their information they took from The People of Book under some certain criteria or not. In addition, some of The Prophet’s choices and decisions were effective in their attitude towards Israiliyat.
