Benefits from the introduction of Usūl ut-Tafsīr by Taqi ud-Dīn Abul-Abbās Ahmed bin Abdil-Halīm bin Abdis-Salām bin Abdillāh bin Abil-Qāsim bin Muhammad Ibn Taymiyyah al-Harrāni al-Hanbalī Ad-Dimashqī (died: 728H)
▪️Benefit: Our Shaykh Yahya may Allāh preserve him said: "We view that ascribing to Ash-Shāfi'ē or other than him was not present in the time of the salaf (pious predecessors), rather ascription is to the Book of Allāh ﷻ and the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ."
And our Shaykh said: "Verily I am amazed at those who summarize Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr, because it itself is originally summarized. Because he gathered within it numerous sciences and that some of the hadiths which some people would think are weak are (in actual fact) suitable with supporting narrations in their chapters. And this is injustice to Ibn Kathīr and squandering his efforts.
▪️ Benefit: Ibn Kathīr, may Allāh have mercy on him, is from amongst the explainers of (Sahīh) Bukhāri except that his explanation, which is present now, is not complete and what is present from it is good."
▪️Benefit:
Shaykh ul-Islām mentioned that the differing between the scholars could be due to numerous matters:
1 - Due to the evidence being obscured (to them).
2 - having been distracted from it.
3 - Not hearing of it.
4 - Due to a mistake in the understanding of the evidence.
5 - Believing something else to be more correct.
Some of the people of knowledge mentioned that much of the differing between Abī Hanīfah and the people of knowledge is due to the weakness of Abī Hanīfah in the knowledge of hadith, so perhaps he would say a statement with based upon his opinion and someone would come and refute his statement with evidence.
▪️Benefit: The obscured (unknown) things are of different types in the Qurān:
1 - What Allāh has kept with Him in His knowledge like the hour, and it is not allowed to ask about these obscured matters, and these obscured matters have signs.
2 - What Allāh kept obscured in a place and explained it in another like His statement:
(اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمَْ)
"Guide us to the Straight Way, The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace."
Allāh clarified the ones He bestowed His favor upon with His statement:
(وَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم)
"And whoso obeys Allāh and the Messenger, then they will be in the company of those on whom Allāh has bestowed His Grace."
3 - What Allāh kept obscured as a covering for the person like His statement:
(وَالَّذِي قَالَ لِوَالِدَيْهِ أُفٍّ لَّكُمَا)
"And the one who said to his parents: "Uff upon you both!"
And searching who this is regarding is not befitting.
4 - What Allāh kept obscured due to its magnitude like his statement ﷺ:
"In it is what no eye has seen and no ear has heard."
And this is to be believed in.
5 - What was kept obscured due to there not being any benefit in mentioning it, like not mentioning the colour of the dog of the people of the Kahf, and the part that the cow was struck with, and likeso is the boat of Nūh from what type of wood it was and the name of boy who was killed by Khadhr and the tree which is in the blessed place of what type, these such things and having ignorance in them is not harmful and if a person was to come to know of them by way of evidence then this is a good affair.
