Even Tafsir ibn Kathir said that Ibn Abbas RA was one of the best mufassareen. .

Ibn Abbas (ra) was, but what Mufti sahib was saying is that the particular source mentioned is not accurately mentioned back till Hazrat Ibn Abbas (ra). The same way you have asanid (chains) back to Rasulallah (saw), the methodology is also employed for athar of the Sahaba (ra) and in this case the chain is invalid.

Assalamu alaykum WR WB brother Muhammad Mufti,

Sorry for my ignorance, but a couple of questions:

1. What is a murabit?
2. Is that something to be warned of?

My understanding is she is accepted for her translation works and she is even supported on Sunnipath.com.

This is related to this thread as i didn't see why her work required a warning. Regarding the abridgement, which is a fair point but obviously not something to be warned off (not that you were warning of it being abridged).

This murabit issue, isn't it just a tasawuf silsila that links to Abdul Qadir as-sufi? It is because of the controversy surrounding the Murabituwn. The Salafiyyuwn were mentioned and warned against because of controversies surrounding them so it's only just to also mention that the Murabituwn aren't exactly lacking in controversy themselves for a number of statements, actions and ideas attributed to the same.

I only mentioned that it was abridged to warn that if the person's intent was to learn in-depth the Fiqhi matters from it than they will want to read the 'Arabic since some were omitted.
