    Someone sent me this in order to prove that (nauzubillah) Prophet pbuh taught a flat-earth geocentric model in which sun sets in springs and stuff…

    It’s in Al-Tabari’s book

    https://www.kalamullah.com/Books/The%20History%20Of%20Tabari/Tabari_Volume_01.pdf

    on page 233 as per the numbering written on the pages and page 255 as per overall page count of this pdf file…

    There is a footnote that someone weakened this narration due to it conflicting with reason or something but I am worried what if the chain is sahih and the report is actually true?

    Can you pls take a look at it and determine if this narration is authentic or not? If not then why is it weak.. its messing with my head so much and i just WISH I never came across this…

    I just need evidence that the Prophet PBUH never ever taught this to Ibn Abbas or anyone…

    In common parlance, from all the idioms we use in every lanaguage for telling about earth, its paths, horizon, etc, one can deduce that we are talking about flat earth. Because we don’t talke in scientific language.

    The prophet didn’t come to teach science. He and the Qur’an tell the things in their own way of as common observations or as allegory unsing common and literary language.
