The Status of al-Qurtubi’s Tafsir and the Most Famous Works of Ibn Rajab

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this person is asking about the book Tafsir al-Qurtubi, and also about Ibn Rajab: what are his most famous books?

Answer:
Tafsir al-Qurtubi is a respected and relied-upon tafsir. It contains abundant and good knowledge. It is one of the greatest tafsirs after the tafsir of Imam Ibn Jarir (may Allah have mercy on him).
As for the works of Ibn Rajab, they are numerous. Among them are Jami' al-'Ulum wa al-Hukm, and Sharh Jawami' al-Kalim, which is the Nawawi Forty Hadiths. This is a great book containing guidance and much knowledge, as its author named it Jami' al-'Ulum wa al-Hukm. Also, al-Qawa'id al-Fiqhiyyah by Ibn Rajab, and al-Qawa'id al-Madhhab by Ibn Rajab, which are famous and respected rules. This is what comes to my mind regarding the works of Ibn Rajab. Yes. And he has a commentary on Sunan al-Tirmidhi, but it is lost, and only its end exists. Yes.
