What is Ibn 'Abbas's interpretation of His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He): "And let them not display their adornment except what appears of it"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: What is Ibn 'Abbas's statement, O our Shaykh, in this matter?

The Shaykh: Ibn 'Abbas said in the interpretation of this verse, as found in "Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah" regarding the interpretation of His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He):
except that which [necessarily] appears thereof إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا
[An-Nur 24:31]
He said: The face and the hands. So their exaggeration in refuting me, without realizing that they are refuting the interpreter of the Qur'an, and why did they not address Ibn 'Abbas and those who adopted his opinion among the Imams from the perspective of advising the Ummah? Except when Al-Albani came and spread this scientific truth, and provided for it with the evidence of the Shari'ah, they rose up as one man, the Salafi and the Khalafi, all alike, refuting us, even though the evidence is with us! They bring the previous verse we mentioned:
to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ جَلابِيبِهِنّ
[Al-Ahzab 33:59]
, and interpret it with interpretations that did not come in the Book or the Sunnah; rather, they are statements of which the least that can be said is that they contradict the interpreter of the Qur'an.

The questioner: Do you remember, O our Shaykh, Ibn Hazm's statement in this issue?

The Shaykh: Who's statement?

The questioner : Ibn Hazm.

The Shaykh: Ibn Hazm, yes, indeed, Ibn Hazm is with us in this issue.

The questioner: And Ibn Taymiyyah?

The Shaykh: No, he is not with us.
