The answer

We have previously clarified some sources for the stories of the prophets. As for Al-Tha'labi's book, Ara'is al-Majalis, it should not be relied upon due to its inclusion of weak narrations and Isra'iliyyat (tales of Jewish origin). Scholars have criticized it for collecting fabricated hadith without discernment, as he lacked expertise in distinguishing authentic hadith.
