The Best Books of Tafsir

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: I hope the Shaykh will guide me to the best books of tafsir (Qur'anic exegesis) to read?

Answer:
There are many books of tafsir, and praise be to Allah. This is a blessing from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and part of His completion of this religion and preservation of it. So, there are many books of tafsir, and the older they are, the better, more excellent, and safer they are. For example, the tafsir of Ibn Jarir, the tafsir of Ibn Kathir. In our present time, there is a summary derived from these good tafsirs: the tafsir of Shaykh Ibn Sa'di. These are among the reliable and beneficial tafsirs, with Allah's permission.
And if he is proficient in knowledge, there is no harm in his reading the other, later books of tafsir. He can benefit from them in terms of eloquence, language, and the secrets of the Qur'an. Even if they contain some errors, he will know the error and avoid it. Yes.
