2951. Ibn 'Abbās narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Beware of narrating from me except what I taught you, for whoever lies about me on purpose, then let him take his seat in the Fire. And whoever says (something) about the Qur'an according to his (own) opinion, then let him take his seat in the Fire.” (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan.

Arabic text

٢٩٥١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُوَيْدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْكَلْبِيُّ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ ‌سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «اتَّقُوا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِّي إِلَّا مَا عَلِمْتُمْ»، فَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ، وَمَنْ قَالَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ بِرَأْيِهِ: فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ.

Commentary

Without the vast and deep knowledge of the Qur'an and the Sunnah and the expertise in the Islamic Sharī'ah, ignoring the understanding of the people of the language and the understanding of the native Arab people, overlooking the rules of commentary of the scholars; explaining the meaning of the Qur'an merely relying on one's intellect and opinion is called Tafsīr according to one's (own) views.
