wa alaykum assalam

sh. Husain adh Dhahabi -rahimahu Allah- said in hie excellent book "at Tafseer wal mufasiroon" (vol.1 pg 61-62):

>> look at the 2 attached images (1 = pg 62 \ 2= pg 61) <<


summary in English:

The tafsir attributed to Ibn Abbas, has a chain of narration that includes "Muhammad bin Marwan as Sadi (as Saghir), who is not trustworthy.
It also includes Muhammad bin as Sa'eb al Kalbi, who is also not trustworthy.
and scholars have said that if both the above are found in same chain in narrations of Ibn Abbas in tafsir then it becomes the "chain of lie".

So conclusion is that the tafsir is weak and not accepted, because of its chain of narration.
