An examination of the Quran's being a source of knowledge in Taberi's history with comparison to his tafsir: Examples of the stories of Dâwûd and Sulaiman

Known for his two important works on Tafsir and History, Muhammed b. Cerîr et-Taberî, in his book called Târîhü'l-ümem ve'l-muluk, which is about the history of world, discussed the events that took place from the creation of the creature to his own time within the framework of a certain chronology. Both the verse passages that are included in the narrations he has quoted, and the Qur'anic verses that he has used as a source for these events after the events he has quoted have revealed the issue of how much the Qur'an is used as a source in Tabari's work. In this study, in the context of the example of the qissah of David (Dâwûd) and Solomon (Sulaiman), the extent to which the Qur'anic verses are used as a source in Tabari's history will be tried to be revealed in a comparative way with the work of Tafsir. Keywords: Qur'an, History, Tabarî, David, Solomon
