Al-Shaykh al-Tabrisi - Tafsir Majma' al-Bayan
Volume: (1) - Page Number: (135)
- .... It was narrated from al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) that he said:
"Allah only set forth the example of the mosquito because, despite its small size, Allah created in it all that He created in the elephant, with its immense size, and two additional body parts. Therefore, Allah, the Exalted, wanted to remind the believers of His subtle creation and wondrous craftsmanship."Reason for the weakness of the narration: (1) - It is noted that the tafsir is not by al-Qummi but rather attributed to al-Qummi. It is a tafsir that is not relied upon by the Shi'a and is considered non-authoritative.
(2) - In the narration, (
al-Qism ibn Sulayman) is regarded as one of the unknowns and weak narrators.
