%X In the history of £¿sl¨¡mic thought, M¨¡tur¨©d¨© is a famous scholar both in the field of kal¨¡m and tafsir. Being approved by M¨¡tur¨©d¨©, the distinction of tafsir and ta¡¯w¨©l, which makes possible to take the comments made about the verses into sistematic framework, is quite important. There is an important information both about content of the distinction approved by M¨¡tur¨©d¨© and the main reasons that necessiated this distinction in the introduction of Samarqand¨©¡¯s Sharh at Ta¡¯w¨©l¨¡t. From this information, it is understood that the distinction of tafsir and ta¡¯w¨©l had dated back to older time than M¨¡tur¨©d¨© and previous scholars dealed with the problem that necessiated this distinction and M¨¡tur¨©d¨© inherited this distinction from his predecessors. Information in the Sharh at Ta¡¯w¨©l¨¡t reveals that according to M¨¡tur¨©d¨© the companions had made interpretation (ta¡¯w¨©l) in addition to tafsir and the explanations made by certain evidences is tafsir too. Therefore this information gives us the opportunity flexing the acceptance of the idea ¡°tafsir, is dedicated to the companions, ta'w¨©l is dedicated to fuqaha (jurists)¡± and asserting that companions and scholars made both tafsir and ta¡¯w¨©l. In this paper, we will research whether the distinction tafsir and ta¡¯w¨©l regarded by M¨¡tur¨©d¨© completely belonged to his or not and content of the distinction and its reasons. We will also analyze this distinction according to examples in the Ta¡¯w£¿l¨¡t. Summary: An important distinction is made between the concepts of tafsir and ta¡¯w¨©l in the short preface of M¨¡tur¨©d¨©'s tafsir, and this distinction is particularly prominent in contemporary tafsir studies. Because from the point of view of the value they carry, the explanations for these differences and concepts express the legitimacy of the following mufassir¨±n (writers of a commentary on the Qur¡¯an) to be able to perform tafsir, as well as the value of the explanations found in tafsir literature in terms of certainty. In Ta'w¨©l¨¡t, tafsir is described as the precise determination of what is intended. Determination of what is exactly intended in verse/wording is bound to certainly know the conditions under which it was revealed. Because they are the first to be addressed directly and they witnessed the context, the tafsir is only for the companions (£¿a£¿¨¡bah pl. a£¿£¿¨¡b). On the other hand, ta¡¯w¨©l is not a definite determination of what is intended, but rather it is explained as putting the possibilities forward. In this case, ta¡¯w¨©l is dedicated to the scholars after the companions. When we look at the other tafsir sources that
