It can be said that the culture of criticism emerged from the early period in tafsir activities. This process, which started from the Companions' period, continued until the classical period. After a certain period, with the establishment of the theological attitude, some criticisms against some of the tafsir literature transmitted from the early period came to the agenda. Especially the issues that came through reports (riwayah) contrary to the understanding of Sunni theology were rejected for some rational reasons. In addition, the views put forward by the Mu‘tazila were subjected to a serious criticism process. This critical attitude was made based on direct traditions (riwayah) as well as, sometimes, with linguistic explanations. In this context, Samîn al-Halabi (d. 756/1355) is one of the scholars who made the direction of criticism clear and sharp by basing on linguistic data in tafsir. In this research, we will try to reveal the nature of Halabî’s attitudes towards Mu‘tazila and his way of criticizing them. In addition, we aim to explain the stage that the culture of criticism in the tafsir tradition has reached, based on the author. In this context, first of all, a framework will be drawn on Aleppo's strong linguistic interpretation understanding, and especially the aforementioned approach in his works will be analyzed and clarified.
