I only got "37 Al-Tabari, History 1:267-267 (on the authority of al-Suddi); Abu Ishaq Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Thalabi, 'Ara'is al-majalis (Cairo, 1374/1954), p" from a google search, address is [1], anyone has access? --Striver 14:05, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Dbachmann has suggested merging this page with Tafsir al-Thalabi. My instinct would have been to keep them separate. But I do note that the Encyclopaedia of Islam, 2nd edn., only has an entry for al-Thalabi, and quite a short one at that, most of which comprises information about his two works, which don't seem to have been studied much. So the merge might be the most sensible option. (Rippin, A., “al-T̲h̲aʿlabī”, in: Encyclopaedia of Islam, Second Edition, Edited by: P. Bearman, Th. Bianquis, C.E. Bosworth, E. van Donzel, W.P. Heinrichs. Consulted online on 29 November 2017 <http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/1573-3912_islam_SIM_7517>

Tafsir al-Thalabi is about his work. This article is about himself. I suggest not to merge them; of course there is a lot of room to expand this article. Cabolitæ (talk) 19:22, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that these pages should be kept separate: both could be expanded a lot, notwithstanding the brief coverage in the Encyclopedia of Islam. Alarichall (talk) 09:19, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Closing, given the consensus not to merge. Klbrain (talk) 22:46, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved

Abu Ishaq al-Tha'labi lived in Arabian Abbasid Caliphate era, that time there nothing call Iranian scholars, also, in his books never mention his race is Persian.

Ibn al-Athir in his book (اللباب في تهذيب الأنساب) 1/238 said (وَفَاته ذكر أبي إِسْحَاق احْمَد بن مُحَمَّد بن إِبْرَاهِيم الثَّعْلَبِيّ وَيُقَال الثعالبي الْمُفَسّر الْمَشْهُور النَّيْسَابُورِي لَهُ تصانيف مَشْهُورَة مِنْهَا التَّفْسِير الَّذِي فاق غَيره من التصانيف فِيهِ قيل إِنَّمَا قيل لَهُ الثَّعْلَبِيّ لقب لَهُ وَلَيْسَ بِنسَب قَالَه بعض الْعلمَاء توفّي فِي الْمحرم سنة سبع وَعشْرين وَأَرْبَعمِائَة)

mean (al-Nīsābūrī al-Thaʿlabī) is just nickname not mean his race (from Nisaburi City) . source

back to source in this page : Frye, R.N., ed. (1975). The Cambridge history of Iran (Repr. ed.). London: Cambridge U.P. p. 469. ISBN 978-0-521-20093-6.  " as for Persian Sunni commentators , according to al-suyuti's tabaqat al-mufassirin the best known are as follows: 5. Abu Ishaq Ahmad b. Tha'labi alNaishaburi  "

back to al-suyuti's tabaqat al-mufassirin , he don't mention Abu Ishaq al-Tha'labi is Persian at all. (All he said in tabaqat al-mufassirin book is : أحمد بن محمد بن إبراهيم أبو إسحاق النيسابوري الثعلبي صاحب التفسير المشهور، والعرائس في قصص الأنبياء.كان أوحد زمانه في علم القرآن، عالماً بارعا في العربية، حافظاً موثقا.روي عن أبي طاهر محمد بن الفضل بن خزيمة، وأبي محمد المخلدي وجماعة.أخذ عنه الواحدي.مات في المحرم سنة سبع وعشرين وأربعمائة وله كتاب ربيع المذكرين) page 28 ,here
