The Commentary On The Quran Vol. 2 By Al-tabari ~repack~ Link

Volume 2 begins in medias res with the controversy of the Qibla shift from Jerusalem to Mecca. Al-Tabari dedicates dozens of pages to the reactions of the Jews of Medina and the hypocrites. He brilliantly collates reports explaining why the change occurred—testing the faithful versus the faint-hearted. He explores the linguistic root of Qibla (direction) and even includes a map-like description (in text) of the Kaaba’s position relative to Medina.
