Please check the reference of Tafsir ibne kathir, it donot mention this hadith over there. Also hadith has no relevance over their.

Secondly if the hadith you mentioning is this one https://sunnah.com/bukhari:5069

Then, these are words of Ibne abbass Not Prophet saw.

Extremely sorry for the typological error. The reference is Ibn Kathir’s tafseer of 3:14 instead of 2:14. Please click on the link below:

Since reference is missing in that part so I am assuming this hadith being referenced there
https://sunnah.com/bukhari:506

This hadith is words of Hazrat Abbass not Prophet.

Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (saws) in English and Arabic

[Zakir Hossain]

The hadith which you are referring to is different from that cited in Ibn Kathir’s tafseer. Hadith cited from your end is attributed to Ibn Abbas and it specifically mentions our Prophet (SAW) but that of Ibn Kathir’s is attributed to our Prophet (SAW) which talks about the Ummah.
I have cross checked this Hadith cited by Ibn Kathir on several other portals and it is the same.
Secondly, in the tafseer of the same ayat by Ibn Kathir, a Hadith “`A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said, “Nothing was more beloved to the Messenger of Allah than women, except horses,” and in another narration, “…than horses except women.”
Now, people like us who are not Mufassireen, when they come across such Hadiths, it creates a picture in our mind that seems to be against the principles of the Quran and Sunnah.
Since Ghamidi Sb has done a yeoman service in the field of interpretations of the Quran, Sunnah and the Hadiths, it is requested to trace the origin of such Hadiths and if they are found to be of the level of Sahih or Hasan, should then be adequately explained in the light of the Quran and the Sunnah.

@Irfan76

can u please take a look at it.

[Dr. Irfan Shahzad]

Ibn kathir does not attribute this hadith to the prophet. His words are:

كما وردت الأحاديث بالترغيب في التزويج والاستكثار منه، وإن خير هذه الأمة من كان أكثرها نساء،

It means it has been narrated in Hadith literature, and hadith literature may include sayings of the companions which are not explicitly attributed to the Prophet.

The narration of Bukhari makes it clear that it is the saying of Ibn Abbas.

[Dr. Irfan Shahzad]

As far as the saying of Hazrat Ayesha is concerned, it is not against the principles of Islam. Some things of beauty are mentioned there, including women, which were given priority.
