Content

Tafsir Ibnu Abbas contains exegetical narrations from Ali ibn Abi Talha that were authenticated by Ibn Abbas, the 7th-century Islamic scholar and Sahabi (companion of Muhammad).^[1][2][3] Muhammad Husayn al-Dhahabi from the Al Azhar University of Cairo, Egypt regarded Ibn Abi Talha as a reliable source of narrations regarding the views of Ibn Abbas:^[1]

In brief, this is the most authentic chain of narration with regards to Ibn Abbas' Tafsir. It should be enough that Bukhari considered his narrations as authentic, and did not reject it.
