this Shurayk—who is Ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Qāḍī—has some weakness in terms of his memory. It has many supporting narrations, sent with different chains of transmission, that confirm the authenticity of this ḥadīth of Ibn ʿAbbās. Refer to them if you wish in "Tafsīr Ibn Jarīr." If this is established, then there is no contradiction between this ḥadīth of Ibn ʿAbbās and the ḥadīth of the chapter; because it is possible for the reasons for revelation to be multiple, which is known among the scholars of tafsīr, and what we are dealing with is of this kind. ʿAmr ibn Dīnār has another ḥadīth with this chain regarding the revelation of Allāh's saying: "Indeed, those whom the angels take [in death] while wronging themselves" (Sūrat al-Nisāʾ, 4:97), narrated from him by Muḥammad ibn Shurayk. It was recorded by al-Bazzār (2204): ʿAbdah ibn ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us: Abū Nuʿaym narrated to us: Muḥammad ibn Shurayk narrated it from him. And he said: "We do not know anyone who narrates it from ʿAmr except Muḥammad ibn Shurayk." I say: He is trustworthy, and he is Abū ʿUthmān al-Makkī, trusted by a group, and therefore al-Ḥāfiẓ said in "Mukhtaṣar al-Zawāʾid" (2/80/1460): "Some of it is in al-Bukhārī, and its chain is authentic." Al-Haythamī said in "al-Majmaʿ" (7/10): "It was narrated by al-Bazzār, and its men are the men of the authentic collections, except for Muḥammad ibn Shurayk, and he is trustworthy." He was followed by Abū Aḥmad al-Zubayrī who said: Muḥammad ibn Shurayk narrated it from him. It was recorded by Ibn Jarīr (5/148) and Ibn Abī Ḥātim (2/175/1)
