The most notable centers of tafseer which evolved during this period were those of Makkah, Madeenah, and ‘Iraaq. In Makkah, the tafseer school of Ibn ‘Abbaas became the most prominent. ‘Abdullaah ibn ‘Abbaas was considered to be the greatest tafseer scholar among the sahaabah. He reported that once the Prophet ( ﷺ) hugged him and prayed for him as follows,

‘Abdullaah ibn Mas‘ood, babban malami daga cikin sahabbai, an ruwaito cewa an ba shi laƙabi, “Tarjumaan al-Qur’aan,” 30 “Mai fassara Alƙur’ani.” Shahararrun almajiran Ibn ‘Abbaas sun hada da Mujaahid ibn Jabr, ‘Ikrimah (bawan da Ibn ‘Abbaas ya 'yanta), Sa‘eed ibn Jubayr, Taawoos ibn Keesaan al-Yamaanee, da ‘Ataa ibn Abee Rabaah.31

‘Abdullaah ibn Mas‘ood, the great scholar among the sahaabah, was reported to have conferred on him the title, “Tarjumaan al-Qur’aan,” 30 “Translator of the Qur’aan.” The most famous students of Ibn ‘Abbaas were Mujaahid ibn Jabr, ‘Ikrimah (the freed slave of Ibn ‘Abbaas), Sa‘eed ibn Jubayr, Taawoos ibn Keesaan al-Yamaanee, and ‘Ataa ibn Abee Rabaah.31

In Madeenah, the most noted school of tafseer was that of Ubayy ibn Ka‘b, who was considered by most of his contemporaries as the top reciter of the Qur’aan. Ubayy was also the first person chosen by the Prophet (r) to record the revelation of the Qur’aan.32 The Prophet (r) was reported to have said to him,

ya tambayi ko Allah ya ambaci sunansa, sai Annabi ﷺ ya ce masa eh, sai Ubayy ya yi kuka.33 Manyan almajiran Ubayy sun hada da Zayd ibn Aslam, Abul 'Aaliyah, da Muhammad ibn Ka'b al-Qurathee.34

asked if Allaah had mentioned him by name, the Prophet (r) told him yes, and Ubayy cried.33 Ubayy’s most notable students were Zayd ibn Aslam, Aboo al ‘Aaliyah, and Muhammad ibn Ka‘b al-Qurathee.34

In ‘Iraaq, Ibn Mas‘ood headed the most prominent school of tafseer. ‘Abdullaah ibn Mas‘ood, the sixth person to enter Islaam,35 was among the top reciters of the Qur’aan. The Prophet (r) himself praised his recitation saying,

Daga cikin ɗalibai da yawa na Ibn Mas‘ood waɗanda daga baya suka zama malamai da kansu akwai al-Hasan al-Basree, ‘Alqamah ibn Qays, Masrooq, al-Aswad ibn Yazeed, da ‘Aamir ash-Sha‘bee.38

Among the many students of Ibn Mas‘ood who later became scholars in their own right were al-Hasan al-Basree, ‘Alqamah ibn Qays, Masrooq, al-Aswad ibn Yazeed, and ‘Aamir ash-Sha‘bee.38
