AZ-ZAMAKHSHARI AND HIS TAFSEER 'AL-KASHAAF'
Indeed Az-Zamakhshari busied himself with rhetoric which was mixed with truth and falsehood; and his book entitled Al-Kashaaf (The disclosure/discoverer) is only an exposition of his condition – meaning that of his Mu’tazilee ‘Aqeedah.
The book: Al-Kashaaf by Az-Zamakhshari is merely a disclosure of his own disgrace; so it is said when asked of him: ‘who are you?’ his reply would be: ‘I am the leader of the Mu’tazilah’.
