Notes	In this article, a chronological analysis was made on the narration-comment relationship in tafsir. By focusing on the gharānīk incident, which was chosen as an example in the said study, we tried to reach some conclusions about how this was reflected in the interpretation/tafsir of the verse. The expression “Garânîk” is a word meaning “long-necked swan birds”. According to the event mentioned by this name, Hz. While the Prophet (pbuh) was reading the Surah An-Najm, he was subjected to the intervention of Satan and involuntarily said, "They are sublime, long-necked swans, and their intercession is undoubtedly hoped for." He praised the idols with his description. Later Hz. The Prophet (pbuh) was informed of the situation, and then, as a consolation, the 52nd verse of the Hajj Surah was revealed, thus eliminating the intervention of Satan. It is not possible for Muslims to accept narrations on this axis that contradict the basic principles of Islam. In fact, the narrations in question were not considered authentic and acceptable by the ulema. However, some of the commentators/authors did not see any harm in conveying the narrations about garaniq or even admitting that this happened. It is seen that some other commentators tried to interpret this in a way compatible with Islam. Some commentators have clearly rejected the narrations. In the article, the attitudes of these commentators towards the narrations and the ideas they put forward, which are generally divided into three parts, are examined in detail. In this regard, Mukatil b. From Suleiman (d. 150/767) to the present day, the views of more than thirty authors on the subject have been discussed. It seems that in tafsir activities, it is inevitable for narrations - even if they are inaccurate - to affect the interpretation directly or indirectly. The general attitude has been to accept these without questioning or to try to interpret them in some way. On the other hand, the attitude of conducting research based on rational and narrational evidence when necessary and rejecting such narrations is a method applied by relatively fewer commentators.
