Ahl al-Bayt (AS) as the successors of the holy prophet (S), have left us a lot of traditions which have a special manifestation not only in Shia sources but also in Sunni tafsirs (Quranic Exegesis). Shahrestani, as one of the great Sunni scholars, in his tafsir i.e. Mafatih al-Asrar wa Masabih al-Abrar is extensively affected by traditions of the Aimmah (AS) and especially Imam Sadiq (AS). This paper, with an analytical approach and by conducting research on Shahrestani's tafsir, i.e. Mafatih al-Asrar wa Masabih al-Abrar, investigates his techniques and new foundations in Quran interpretation. Among his foundations in interpreting the Quran we can name the three pairs: Mafrough and Musta'naf, Tadhad and Tarattob, and Manahij al-Amr wa al-Khalq, which he has used skillfully in his interpretation. This article, studying these three techniques, proposes that Sharestani is affected by traditions of Imam Sadiq (AS) and concludes that Shahrestani introduces each of these pairs according to the traditions of Imam Sadiq (AS).
