By the way, some of the Tafsir scholars died before the Hadith were codified into the collections we know today (e.g. Kutub al-Sittah for Sunnis). It's plausible to assume that disagreements they had aren't only due to Hadith because the Hadith we know today didn't exist in their time. e.g. al-Bukhari hadn't even been born when Ibn Abbass was writing.
Mere traps; MNMP, in my opinion:

There are mainly 2 types if Tafsir:
1-Hadith based
2-Opinion based

Quote:لاعتبار الأول: من حيث المصادر التي يستمد منها التفسير، وهو بهذا الاعتبار ينقسم إلى قسمين، تفسير بالمأثور، وتفسير بالرأي، ويدخل تحت التفسير بالرأي كل أنواع التفسير بالرأي المحمود، والمذموم، بسائر اتجاهاته الفقهية، والصوفية، والبلاغية، والأدبية، والموضوعية، والتحليلية، والإجمالية، والعلمية، وغير ذلك.
(The English article doesn't contain this bit); the bold part is what I wrote above; Hadith based tafsir, and opinion based tafsir.
