This book is a doctoral thesis, unsuitable for those who wish to understand the meanings of the verses without knowledge of the fundamentals of science, jurisprudence, and language. This is because it is limited to what has been narrated from Ibn Abbas in specific books.
Therefore, it is recommended to read general, clear books, such as the style of Sheikh Al-Saadi, and then to expand into larger tafsirs like those of Ibn Kathir, Al-Baghawi, and Al-Shawkani.
As for the narrations from Ibn Abbas, some are authentic, some are inauthentic, and some have disputed authenticity, depending on the conditions of authenticity in hadith science.
