The book of Turjuman al-Mustafid is considered as the first commentary written in full 30 Juz in Malay. Researchers who have con- ducted the study gave different opinions about the source of writing this book. This paper is an attempt to further trace the originality of the book Turjuman al-Mustafid and determine the position of Abdul Ra’uf Singkel and Baba Daud al-Rumi in writing. The research step that the writer did consisted of two parts. First, comparing the testimo- ny of David al-Rumi in the colophon of the book with systematic and verse interpretation methods. Secondly, studying the position of women in the book Turjuman al-Mustafid by comparative methods using the commentary book al-Baidhawi and al-Jalalain suspected of being the source of this commentary. The result is, the writer concludes that the book Turjuman al-Mustafid is the adaptation work (explanation of the commentary) Abdul Ra’uf from the book of Tafsir al-Jalalain, while ot- her parts of the Faidah and Qisshah are in addition to David al-Rumi.
