ibn Kathir's Al-Bidaya wannihaya

[Optimus Prime]

Asalamualaikum to all.

I wanted to confirm is this a secondary Hadith where he's compiling narrations from before him?

[Farid]

Wa alaykum alsalam wa rahmatullah,

Not sure if I understood your question, but if you were asking if Ibn Katheer is a secondary source, then yes, he is.

He was an eighth century scholar that quotes from books written centuries before him.
