The literary form of ‘questions and answers’ (Arab. as’ila wa-ajwiba) has been employed in Islamic literature across writings from a wide variety of fields. This article focuses on the uses of this form in Islamic exegetical literature and gives a preliminary assessment of the question-and-answer pattern in the commentary on sura al-Fātiḥa in the tafsīr of Muḥammad ibn Jarīr al-Ṭabarī (d. 310/923). This assessment suggests that the question-and-answer form in al-Ṭabarī’s tafsīr was not only a method of elucidating the meaning of the Qur’ān and a technique of argumentation against al-Ṭabarī’s adversaries, but it also provided a framework for his refutation of the alternative interpretations of the text, and served as a means of asserting al-Ṭabarī’s standing as a commentator on the Qur’ān.
