Hafidh Ibn Kathir was a Salafi Athari upon the Path of the Salaf.

Spread this as there are mubtadiaah actively searching for any shaytani deceptions for their own innovations to make you follow them to the fire,

May Allah break the back of any slanderer of the ulema.
Tafsir of the Aya Surah A'raf aya 54:

"And then He ascended over the throne"

The people had several conflicting opinions over its
meaning. However, we follow the way that our righteous predecessors took in this regard, such as Malik, Al-Awza`i, Ath-Thawri, Al-Layth bin Sa`d,
Ash-Shafi`i, Ahmad, Ishaq bin Rahwayh and the rest of the scholars
of Islam, in past and present times. Surely, we accept the apparent meaning of, Al-Istawa, without discussing its true essence, equating it (with the attributes of the creation),
or altering or denying it (in any way or form). We also believe that the meaning that comes to those who equate Allah with the creation is to be rejected, for nothing is similar to Allah,

There is nothing like Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. (42:11)
Regarding his tafsir of the aya in Surah Taha aya 5,

"The Most Merciful Ascended over the Throne",

A discussion concerning this has already preceded in Surah Al-A`raf, so there is no need to repeat it here. The safest path to take in understanding this, is the way
of the
Salaf (predecessors). Their way was to accept
that which has been reported concerning this from the
Book and the Sunnah without describing it,
reinterpreting it, resembling it to creation, rejecting it, or
comparing it to attributes of the creatures.
These points alone are sufficient,

For ashari's do not follow the salaf nor do they take the Qur'an and the Sunnah as proofs over their intellects,

He doesn't do takyif, tashbih, tahrif, ta'teel, ta'weel etc All of which are from the foundations of the ashari's,
If this imam was what you lie about him you kaddhab khabith this would be the perfect opportunity for him to say the ascension of Allah is in fact his glory ascends or his power ascends rather he accepts the sifat of Allah upon their apparent up in the way of the salaf
Thereby leaving and rejecting the ashairah from its being to it's end,

Shaykh salih fawzan praises tafsir ibn kathir as a tafsir of the salaf:

Need I bring more proofs.
Ibn Kathir As-Salafi Al-Athari Alhamdulilah
Ibn Kathir rahimahullah regarding the aya "And on the Day of Resurrection the whole of the
earth will be grasped by His Hand and the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand."

The way of the Salaf is to accept them and pass them on as they've come without tahrif and takyif
He was a salafi athari alhamdulilah shaykh ul Muhaddith, Faqih Sunni Salafi walilahilhamd.
Don't be surprised if the next thing these guys come with is ibn taymiyyah was an ash'ari or Muhammad ibn abdul-wahhab was maturidi,

Their aim is for you to doubt the truthfulness of the Salafi Manhaj and to leave it

It never was about those imams themselves it was about you...
One brother shared this, its more powerful of a proof that ibn kathir was salafi than everything I've provided before,

Ibn Kathir affirms attributes of face, eyes, power, hearing, seeing, Will, Love, Power all of it and more to Allah without tashbih and takyif, Wallahi Salafi.
