A Hadith on the One Who Does Not Persist in Sin in Ibn Kathir’s Tafsir
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in his tafsir this hadith: “The one who does not persist in sin has nothing upon him, even if he sins seventy times a day.” Is this hadith authentic, and what is its meaning?
Answer:
What Ibn Kathir mentions and remains silent about, he must clarify its status. So, refer to Ibn Kathir. I do not know that he mentions anything. If he clarifies its status, it is because he is a hadith scholar, a great hadith scholar (may Allah have mercy on him). He does not mention anything without clarifying its grade, whether it is used as evidence or not used as evidence. Yes.
