The literal meaning of tafseer in the Arabic language is to unlock or to explain, interpret or comment. Technically, the science of tafseer is a branch of knowledge in which the meanings of the Quran are explained and its injunctions and wisdoms are described clearly. Addressing the Prophet, the Glorious Qur�an says:

We revealed the Qur�an to you so that you explain to the people what has been sent down to them (16:44).

The Noble Qur�an also says:

Surely, Allah did a great favor to Muslims when He sent a Messenger to them from among them who would recite His verses before them and purify them and teach them the Book and the Wisdom (3:164).

Keeping this in view, it should be noted that the Prophet did not only teach the words of the Quran, but he also explained these in details. This is why, on some occasions, the revered Companions had to devote years together in learning a single Surah.
