Abū Jaʿfar said: I believe that the origin of the warfare between us was what our scholars—whose narration we previously presented—mentioned concerning its letting Iblīs into Paradise after Allah had expelled him from it, until he caused him to slip from obedience to his Lord by eating from the tree that he was forbidden to eat from.

764 - Abū Kurayb narrated to us, saying: Muʿāwiya ibn Hishām narrated to us—and Muḥammad ibn Khalaf al-ʿAsqalānī narrated to me, saying: Ādam narrated to me—both from Shaybān, from Jābir, from Saʿīd ibn Jubayr, from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said: The Messenger of Allah, Peace and blessings of God be upon him, was asked about killing snakes, so the Messenger of Allah, Peace and blessings of God be upon him, said: "It and man were created such that each of them is an enemy to the other; if he sees it, it frightens him, and if it bites him, it pains him, so kill it wherever you find it." (1)

The discourse concerning the interpretation of the statement of the Exalted: {And on the earth you will have a dwelling place}

Abū Jaʿfar said: The scholars of interpretation differed regarding the interpretation of that. Some of them said according to what:—

765 - Al-Muthannā ibn Ibrāhīm narrated to me, saying: Ādam al-ʿAsqalānī narrated to us, saying: Abū Jaʿfar al-Rāzī narrated to us, from Al-Rabīʿ, from Abū al-ʿĀliya regarding His statement: "And on the earth you will have a dwelling place," he said: It is His statement: {He who made the earth a resting place for you} [Sūrat al-Baqara: 22].

766 - And it was narrated to me on the authority of ʿAmmār ibn al-Ḥasan, who said: ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Jaʿfar narrated to us, from his father, from Al-Rabīʿ regarding His statement: "And on the earth you will have a dwelling place," he said: It is His statement: {He made for you the earth a dwelling place} (2) [Sūrat Ghāfir: 64].

Notes

(1) Hadith: 764 – In al-Durr al-Manthūr 1: 55, and he attributed it to al-Ṭabarī alone. It is in Majmaʿ al-Zawāʾid 4: 45 with a different wording, where he said: al-Ṭabarānī narrated it in al-Awsaṭ, and in it is Jābir, unnamed, and it appears to be al-Juʿfī; al-Thawrī and Shuʿba declared him trustworthy, while the Imams, Aḥmad and others, declared him weak.
(2) Reports 765–766: I did not find them anywhere.
