Mahdi in the Qur'an According to Shi'ite Qur'an Commentators
N. Vasram and A. Toussi
Compares Tabarsi and Tabatabai, including disputes over whether general promises may exclusively identify the Mahdi. Preserves Tabatabai's concerns about applying fragmentary or singly transmitted reports to a verse rather than treating all Shia commentary as one assertion.
