Arabic-6 Un-accepted chains of tafseer by Hazrat Abdullah Bin Abbas (R.A)

Abstract

Hazrat Abdullah Bin Abbas is the mufassir companion of the Holy Prophet (صلی الله علیه وسلم). He is hibr al ummah(scholar of Ummah), specially he was a great scholar of tafseer al Quran. The Holy Prophet (S.A.S) prayed for him in this regard. Moreover, he had keen interest in seeking knowledge. He gave many fatwas in the presence of the companions of the Holy Prophet (صلی الله علیه وسلم) although he was younger than the most of the companions. He was a prominent figure in the narration of Hadiths. One thousand six hundred and sixty hadiths are narrated by Hazrat Ibn e Abbas. Majority of the people gained knowledge from Ibn e Abbas R.A. for more than half century because he died in 69 hijrah. Tafseer ibn e Abbas is attributed to Ibn Abbas. All the unauthentic asnaad of this tafseer are discussed in this article. These asnaad are analyzed in the light of jarh o tadeel principle. Opinion about rejection is given after the analytical study and research. All the riwayaat narrated by Ibn e Abbas are not authentic. Some of those are authentic, some of those are unauthentic and many others are home-made(rough). Un-authentic riwayaat which are narrated by Hazrat Abdullah Bin Abbas in exegetical literature have seven famous chains. Chain of Abu Salih: Abu Salih neither met Hazrat Abdullah Bin Abbas nor heard anything from him. Worst situation of this chain is the narrator of Muhammad Bin Saib Kalbi from Abu Salih and from Abu Salih Atiyyah and Hibban bin Ali. This chain is the chain of liars. Chain of Dhahak Bin Muzahim : Dhahak Bin Muzahim never saw any companion of the Prophet صلی الله علیه وسلم .He did not hear anything from Hazrat Ibn e Abbas. The people who narrated from Dhahak Bin Muzahim are liar and un-reliable as Juwaibar Bin Saeed, Muqatil Bin Sulaiman and Huzail Bin Habib. Chain of Ata Khurasani: He neither met Hazrat Abdullah Bin Abbas nor heard anything from Hazrat Ibn e Abbas. He never met any companion of the Holy Prophet صلی الله علیه وسلم. Chain of Ismail Suddi Kabeer: He narrated Tafseer from from Abu Salih. Although he narrated a few Riwayaat by sound chain but he mixed up the sound and un-sound Hadiths. It is impossible to separate the Sahih and Dhaeef. Chain of Ibn-e- Juraij from Ata: He narrated from Ata Bin Ribah(Siqah) and Ata Khurasani(Dhaeef).We should be careful in this intermixed situation. Chain of Ata bin Dinar from Saeed bin Jubair. Ata never anything from Saeed bin Jubair. This broken chain cannot be accepted. Chain of Ibrahim bin Hakam Adani: He narrated . He narrated from his father and his father narrated from Ikrama. He often narrated the tafseer of Ikrama as the tafseer of Hazrat Abdullah Bin Abbas. These are only seven un- sound chains of the tafseer of Hazrat Abdullah Bin Abbas. In the light of this research we come to know that tafseer Tanvir- al- Miqbaas has no any connection with Hazrat Abdullah Bin Abbas. During the research we also came to know that the scholars of Hadith tried their best in the research of riwayaat to separate the unsound traditions from the real source of Islamic Sharia
