Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Regarding the exegesis of the Qur'an, one often reads the exegesis of the Qur'an and then forgets it. What are the easiest ways to consolidate the understanding of the exegesis?
The easiest, may Allah reward you, is to review it, for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the review of the Qur'an,And he said: (Review this Qur'an, for by Him in whose hand is my soul, it is more prone to slip away than camels from their tether) So the best thing is that you review it. Some surahs are sufficient to be reviewed once a week, some require twice, and some are sufficient to be reviewed once every fifteen days.
The questioner: Regarding the exegesis?The Shaykh: The exegesis or the memorization?The questioner: Exegesis.

The questioner: Which is better, O Shaykh! Reading the exegesis of the Salaf in the Qur'an, or the exegesis of the linguists?The Shaykh: The exegesis of the Salaf is better; because they are the most knowledgeable of people regarding the meaning of the Qur'an.
