When Muhammad Ibn Marwaan As-Suddi As-Sagheer reports from Kalbi, this is regarded by the authorities as a false sequence ... It is wrong to ascribe it to Ibn Abbas because this book has been based on the reported sequence of Muhammad Ibn Marwaan As-Suddi from Muhammad Ibn Saa'ib Al-Kalbi from Abi Salih from Ibn Abbas (R) ... this has been regarded by the Muhadditheen as "chain of falsehood" and hence cannot be relied upon.

It has become one of the most widely used English editions of the Qur’an due to the quality of the translation and its use of extensive footnotes.[27] In the 1980s, the book has been appropriated by the Saudi religious establishment and edited to better fit the country’s Wahhabi/Salafist perspective. This latter version is today widely distributed as the «Amana Edition».
