The Difference Between Tafsir and Tadabbur

Question:
The questioner asks: Is there a difference between tafsir and tadabbur? And is it permissible for a da'iyah to interpret verses according to his own understanding?

Answer:
Tafsir does not interpret the Qur'an except through the known methods of tafsir recognized by the scholars of tafsir. Interpreting the Qur'an by the Qur'an. Interpreting the Qur'an by the Sunnah. Interpreting the Qur'an by the statements of the Tabi'un, by the statements of the Companions. After the Sunnah, interpreting the Qur'an by the statements of the Companions and the tafsir of the Companions. After the Companions, interpreting it by the statements of the Tabi'un, the students of the Companions.
And he does not come up with an interpretation from his own mind that has not been preceded by others. As for him reflecting in his own heart and pondering the verse, there is no harm in that, but he should not make his reflection and thinking a tafsir of the verse. Yes.
This is not written as a tafsir of the verse; rather, he reflects on it so that he may act upon it, and he should consult the tafsir. Tadabbur is a reason to consult the tafsir. If something is in your mind, you consult the tafsir: Was this said? Was the verse interpreted this way? Tafsir is a document you refer to. Yes.
