Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan is the second interpretation after Tarjuman al-Mustafid written in the Malay language in the 19th century AD by Sheikh Muhammad Sa’id ibn Umar. The main objective of this study is to identify the influence of the external source in the text of Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan. This study is important because it can unravel the reference works used by Sheikh Muhammad Said ibn Umar when producing Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan. This disclosure can also strengthen the work and continue to be a guide and reference for the community in understanding the contents of the Qur'an. When conducting research, the researchers applied the method of library research by using the intertextual reading methodology. This research focuses on the application of the Expansion method which is one of the approaches in intertextual reading when analyzing the text of Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan. The research design used is documentation and fieldwork using the subjective approach that employs descriptive and qualitative data. The study reveals that there are nine (9) works which have influenced the essence of Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan which are Tafsir al-Jalalyn, Tafsir al-Jamal, Tafsir al-Baydawi, Tafsir al-Khazin, Tafsir al-Baghawi, Tafsir al-Tabari, Tafsir al-Qurtubi, Tafsir al-Razi, and Tafsir al-Nasafi. The finding analysis also reveals that Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan is mostly influenced by Tafsir al-Jalalyn. Referring to the further study of this work, researchers are recommended to examine the text of the verses of the Qur'an, the use of punctuation, and the author's thoughts found in this Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan.
