Dur al-Manthur
Al-Durr Al-Manthur Fi Tafsir Bil-Ma'thur (Arabic: الدر المنثور في التفسير بالماثور), The Scattered Pearls: Intertextual Exegesis, is an authoritatve Sunni tafsir (classical scholarly exegesis of the Quran), written by the prominent Imam Jalal al-Din al- Suyuti d. 911H[1]. The exegesis explains each passage of the Quran by the reports and narrations from the Prophet, his Companions and the immediate generations following the Companions. Imam Suyuti compiled all the reports and narrations that he could gather for each particular passage - even contradictory reports, as can be seen in the narrations gathered explaining verse 33:33:
“ | Ibn Abi Hatim and Ibn 'Asakir have related from 'Ikrimah, May Allah be pleased with him, from Ibn 'Abbas, May Allah be pleased with him and his father, that he said on the Qur'anic verse [Surely, Allah desires only to remove the impurity from you, O People of the Household]: It was revealed about the wives of the Prophet - peace be upon Him - specifically. And Ibn Sa'd related from 'Urwah - May Allah be pleased with him - that he said: [Surely, Allah desires only to remove the impurity from you, O People of the Household], meaning the wives of the Prophet, peace be upon him. And Ibn Mardawaih related from Um Salamah, Mother of the Believers, that she said: |

Unlike Al-Tabari, Imam Suyuti completely avoids penning down his personal opinions in the Tafsir nor did he make any private interpretation over any passage of the Quran.
He, however, did that in his other Tafsir work, known as Tafsir al-Jalalayn, which he compiled togethger with his teacher, al-Mahally.
