His clear tafsir and his Masabih al-Sunnah were standard texts for centuries.

From Bagh near Herat, he was called 'reviver of the Sunnah'. His tafsir, Ma'alim al-Tanzil, keeps to the sayings of the early generations and avoids weak reports. His Masabih al-Sunnah was later expanded into the much-loved Mishkat al-Masabih.
