that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Beware of narrating from me except what I taught you, for whoever lies about me on purpose, then let him take his seat in the Fire. And whoever says (something) about the Quran according to his (own) opinion, then let him take his seat in the Fire."

that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever says (something) about the Quran according to his own opinion and he is correct, yet he has committed a mistake."
This Hadith is Gharib. Some of the people of Hadith have criticized Suhail bin Abi Hazm.
This is how it has
been reported from some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ), and others. They were very stern about this - about explaining the
Quran without knowledge. As for what has been related from Mujãhid, Qatadah and others, among the people of knowledge, that they would interpret the Quran, then it should not be thought about them that they would say something about the Quran, or interpret it without knowledge, or according to their own intellect. Rather that which
proves what we have said has been reported from them, that they would not say something from themselves without knowledge.
Husain bin Mahdi Al-Basri narrated to us (he said: AbdurRazzaq narrated to us, from
Ma'mar, from Qatadah who said):
"There is no Ayah in the Quran except that I have heard something about it."
Ibn Abi 'Umar narrated to us (he said): "Sufyan bin 'Uyainah narrated to us, from Al-A'mash who said: 'Mujãhid said: If you
recited the recitation of Ibn Mas'ud, you would not need to ask Ibn 'Abbãs about much of what you ask him regarding the Quran." Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 47, Hadith 3
