Answer:
which interprets the Qur'an by the Qur'an, or the Qur'an by the Sunnah, or the Qur'an by the statements of the Companions and the Tabi'un. This is the correct tafsir, such as the tafsir of Ibn Jarir al-Tabari, the tafsir of Ibn Kathir, the tafsir of al-Baghawi, the tafsir of *Udhu' al-Bayan* by Shaykh al-Shanqiti, and the tafsir of Ibn Sa'di.
