Abstract
"Reports that are attributed to the companions of Allah's Messenger are commonly used for additional explanation of the meanings of the Qur'an. As for those quotes that Ibn Kathir mentions in passing, these quotes may, or may not be authentically attributed to them. Wherever it is mentioned that one of them said something, and that statement contradicts other clearly authentic texts, then such statements can not be held as an evidence against what is known to be authentic. Additional information in this regard is found in the Introduction of Ibn Kathir. Incomplete Chains of Narration The following is a list of common incomplete chains of narrations that AI-Hafiz Ibn Kathir often quotes. · 'Ali bin Abi Talhah (AI-Walibi) reported that Ibn 'Abbas said... · ('Atiyah) Al-'Awfi reported that Ibn 'Abbas said... · Ad-Dahhak from Ibn 'Abbas. · As-Suddi reported from Abu Malik and Abu Salih from Ibn · Abbas, Ibn Mas'ud and [or] some men among the companions. · Al-Hasan AI-Basri reporting from or about the Prophet. · Qatadah reporting from or about the Prophet. All narrations coming from these chains are unauthentic according to the Sciences of Hadith. Their meanings, however, may be correct as understood by authentic texts, and for this reason they are commonly referenced."(pg 1)
