Does Tafsir al-Mazhari contain any weak Ahādīth?
Question
does tafsir al mazhari contain any weak hadiths?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Generally books of Tafsīr contain many types of narrations of which some may be questionable. Such books are meant for ‘Ulamā who have the knowledge to differentiate between such narrations. If a non-‘Ālim is reading a Tafsīr book and he comes across such narrations, he should refer to an ‘Ālim having expertise in Hadith for confirmation.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
