Mulla Ali Qari is the author of a detailed commentary on the famous Hadith compilation Mishkāt al-Masābīh named Mirqāt al-Mafātīh. In this commentary, Mulla Ali Qari has focused on such narrations and provided all possible solutions to such narrations. This article is designed to explore his method in this regard. The author, at first، has brought the principles set by the adapts of hadithic scientists (Muhadithīn), and then the examples from the said commentary have been brought under discussion. This research concludes that Mulla Ali Qari has not only provided all the interpretations described by his predecessor scholars but has also introduced many new interpretations himself.
