The term ‘comparison’ has literally been applied parallel to the words such as ‘counterbalance’, ‘simultaneous’ and ‘analogy’. However, in the case of ‘comparison’ and ‘analogy’, two or more viewpoints or schools on a particular subject that seem similar to each other are usually examined and criticized. In this way, the similarities and dissimilarities between them are identified, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of each, so that eventually their priority over the other ones can be shown. The findings of the present study indicate that before the second century A.H. there was no traces of comparison in Sunni exegeses, rather, the hadiths and narrations accepted by the companions and followers of the Prophet (PBUH) have been quoted without considering the opposite viewpoints. In the fourth century A.H. and with the formation and development of other denominations and the growth of some theological schools such as the Mu’tazilites, the Sunni interpretations advanced to the point of collecting some contradict ideas and opinions, or counterbalance and simultaneous exegesis. Then, with the intensification of socio-political developments, there was an opportunity to critique and express theories in its ‘comparison’ case. The present article, which has applied the comparative-analytical method, attempts to achieve a new way to have a better understanding and explanation concerning the course of the conceptual development of the term comparison and its semantic widening in the field of Sunni Qur’anic exegeses.
