  • Ta’weelatu-l-Ahli-Sunnah by Abu Mansur al-Maturidi — the author was a Sunni Hanafi jurist, theologian, and scriptural exegete from ninth-century Samarkandwho became the eponymous codifier of one of the two principal orthodox schools of Sunni theology, the Maturidi school,[2] which became the dominant theological school for Sunni Muslims in Central Asia[2] and later enjoyed a preeminent status as the school of choice for both the Ottoman Empire and the Mughal Empire.[2]
  • Tafsir al-Thalabi by Ahmad ibn Muhammad Al-Tha`labi (died 427 AH/1035 CE). Also known as al-Tafsir al-Kabir (‘The Great Commentary’).

When Muhammad Ibn Marwaan As-Suddi As-Sagheer reports from Kalbi, this is regarded by the authorities as a false sequence … It is wrong to ascribe it to Ibn Abbas because this book has been based on the reported sequence of Muhammad Ibn Marwaan As-Suddi from Muhammad Ibn Saa’ib Al-Kalbi from Abi Salih from Ibn Abbas (R) … this has been regarded by the Muhadditheen as “chain of falsehood” and hence cannot be relied upon. Both Al-Wahidi Ash-Shafi‘i An-Nishaburi, and Al-Tha`labi Ash-Shafi‘i uses a number of “Hadith” of this “chain” of falsehood” which MUST be avoided.
