Ahmed Muhammad Shakir said: “After that, the interpretation of Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir is the best of the interpretations that we have seen, and the best and most accurate after the interpretation of the Imam of the commentators Abi Jaafar Al-Tabari.” Muhammad bin Jaafar al-Kitani said: “It is loaded with hadiths and narrations with the chains of transmission of their narrators, while discussing them with authenticity and weakness.” Abd al-Aziz bin Baz said: ““The interpretation of Ibn Katheer is a great interpretation, the interpretation of Salfi according to the method of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah, and if the hadiths are taken care of and their way, and they are attributed to their authors, I do not know of an analogue of it.”
