Sinan al-Din Yusuf’s footnote (d. 986 AH) on the interpretation of al-Baydawi (d. 685 AH) Surah Al-'raf from verse (124-138) ــstudy and investigationــ

This footnote is considered one of the significant footnotes on the interpretation of Imam al-Baydhawi - may God have mercy upon him - by Sheikh Sinan al-Din al-Amasi al-Baradai to the point that its author was attributed to it so that he began to be called: (Sinan al-Muhshi) and it became a resource for many other footnotes later - especially the footnotes of al-Shihab al-Khafaji and al-Qunawi. Because it includes many arts of language rhetoric and others it is a book of great worth. Al-Muhshi - may God have mercy upon him - despite his brevity hardly leaves anything without commenting and because of the strength of his style and the abundance of his knowledge he mentions niceties jokes and precise deductions in a concise manner and mentions some aspects of the readings without being obligated of those that are previously mentioned a lot. He also paid attention to grammar without elaboration or digression. Al-Muhshi - may God have mercy upon him - was distinguished by his focus on the idea in a concise and useful manner far from being lengthy. My research came to highlight the status of this footnote and the benefits it contains in various sciences in the course of showing it by introducing its author and mentioning his biography and scientific biography such as his birth and upbringing as he was one of the most prominent scholars of his time as well as the scholars from whom he took knowledge and his position among scholars; in addition to introducing his footnote and its importance.
