Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What are the best books on tafsir?
Answer:
There are many books on tafsir, and praise be to Allah. The best of them are the oldest ones; the older they are, the better. For example, the tafsir of Ibn Jarir (may Allah have mercy on him), the tafsir of the Imam al-Baghawi, and the tafsir of Ibn Kathir. These are the tafsirs that focus on interpreting the Qur'an by the Qur'an, or by the hadiths, or by the statements of the Companions and the Tabi'un. These are the best types of tafsir. Yes.
