At-Tibyan Fi Tafsir al-Quran (Arabic: التبیان في تفسیر القرآن, romanized: at-Tibyān fī Tafsīr al-Qurān) is an exegesis of the Quran in ten volumes written by Shaykh Tusi. Shaykh Tabarsi, the author of Majma' al-Bayan, admitted using this book in writing his commentary.[1] A copy is available at the Malek Library, Tehran. This exegesis has been published along with its summary as Mukhtasar-ut-Tibyan. The author uses hadith as a major component in writing his commentary[2] and preserves the traditions of several of Twelver Shi'i imams.[3]

According to Bar-Asher, beginning with al-Tusi, Imami exegetes started a new trend in which hadith was no longer the only means of interpreting Quran.[4]
