[80] The following information is given under the entry TABARÎ ‘rahmatullâhi ’alaih’ in the biography section of the Turkish book Seâdet-i-ebediyye: “Abû Ja’far Muhammad bin Jarîr (224 [A.D. 839]-Tabaristân-310 [A.D. 923]-Baghdâd) was a great scholar profoundly learned in the branches of Tafsîr and Hadîth. Two of his most valuable works are Jâmi’ul-bayân, a book of Tafsîr consisting of twenty-three volumes, and Târîh-ul-umam, a masterpiece of history, which was abridged by a Shiite named Alî bin Muhammad Shimshâtî. This Shiite-laced abridgement, which was translated into Turkish and entitled Taberî Târîhi (History of Tabarî), misleads those who read it. It is written on the sixty-eighth (68) page of the book Mukhtasar-i-Tuhfa-i-ithnâ ashariyya by Alûsî that Muhammad bin Jarîr bin Rustam Tabarî is a Shiite. And that Muhammad bin Abil-Qâsim is another Shiite is written in Asmâ-ul-muallifîn. These people should not be confused with Hadrat (Abû Ja’far Muhammad) ibn Jarîr. On the other hand, a book of Tafsîr which is mistaken for the book of Tafsîr of Tabarî entitled Jâmi’ul-bayân is the Shiite book of Tafsîr entitled Tabarsî, a pseudo title for the book Majma’ul bayân by Fadl bin Hasan Tabarî (d. 548 [A.D. 1153], a member of the aberrant Shiite sect Imâmiyya.
