Summary of Contents: This is a brief commentary on the Quran attributed to Imām Ḥasan ʿAskarī (AS), including interpretations of the two Suras of Fātiḥat al-Kitāb and Baqarah. Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar ibn Daffāq quotes from Abū al-Ḥasan Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad and Abū Muḥammad Jaʿfar ibn Aḥmad, both quoting from Abū Yaʿqūb and Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad Sayyār, who said that their fathers were Shiites living under the ruling of Ḥasan ibn Zayd ʿAlavī, nicknamed as Dāʿī ila al-Ḥaq, in Astarābād. As Ḥasan ibn Zayd ʿAlavī treated his opponents rigorously, they fleed with their families and presented themselves to Imām Ḥasan ʿAskarī. He welcomed them, and presented them a commentary on the Quran which included some information on the family of Muḥammad (SA). This book is that commentary. A Persian translation of this work was lithographed in 1320 AH (1902) in Mumbai under the title "Jawāhir al-Īmān fī Tafsīr al-Qurʾān".
