Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
After inviting to Paradise, its blessings are mentioned. In this noble verse, {’’ الْحُسْنٰى ‘‘}, which is the feminine of {’’ أَحْسَنُ‘‘}, means the best reward, and it is said that there is also a great additional thing. {’’ زِيَادَةٌ ‘‘} is a verbal noun in the meaning of an active participle; by this {’’ زِيَادَةٌ ‘‘} is meant the vision of Allah Almighty. This same meaning is stated in Surah An-Nisa (173), An-Nur (38), and Surah Qaf (35). In numerous Sahih hadiths, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) has explained it in this way. Thus, Suhaib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace be upon him) recited this verse: «{ لِلَّذِيْنَ اَحْسَنُوا الْحُسْنٰى وَ زِيَادَةٌ }» and said: "When the people of Paradise enter Paradise and the people of Hell enter Hell, then a caller will call out: 'O people of Paradise! Allah had made a promise to you, and He wants to fulfill it.' They will say: 'What is that promise? Has He not made our scales (of good deeds) heavy? Has He not brightened our faces, admitted us into Paradise, and saved us from the Fire?'" He (peace be upon him) said: [ فَيُكْشَفُ لَهُمُ الْحِجَابُ فَيَنْظُرُوْنَ إِلَيْهِ، قَالَ : ’’ فَوَاللّٰهِ ! مَا أَعْطَاهُمْ شَيْئًا أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّظْرِ إِلَيْهِ وَلاَ أَقَرَّ بِأَعْيُنِهِمْ ] [ مسند أحمد : 333/4، ح : ۱۸۹۶۵۔ مسلم، الإیمان، باب إثبات رؤیۃ المؤمنین… : ۱۸۱ ] "At that time, the veil will be lifted for them and they will see their Lord." Then he said: "By Allah! They will not have been given any blessing more beloved to them than this vision, nor will anything bring more coolness to their eyes than this." The explanation of this 'more' verse can also be found in another verse and its explanation. See Surah At-Tawbah (72).

The Delight of Seeing Allah:
Sayyiduna Suhaib ؓ says that the Prophet ﷺ said: When the people of Paradise will enter Paradise, a caller will announce that Allah has made another promise to you which He is about to fulfill. The people of Paradise will say: Has He not brightened our faces, saved us from Hell, and admitted us into Paradise? (So what is left now?) The Prophet ﷺ said: "Then Allah, the Exalted, will remove the veil. By Allah! Whatever the people of Paradise have been given, nothing will be more beloved to them than looking towards Allah (the vision of Allah)." [ترمذي، كتاب التفسير] And its other meaning is that the righteous will not only receive a good reward for their deeds, but by Allah's grace and mercy, they will receive much more than that. It could be tenfold, seven hundredfold, or even more, whereas the evildoers will be given only as much punishment as the evil they committed.
[39] That is, on that long Day of Resurrection, whose duration according to this world is equal to fifty thousand years, at no time will there be such darkness and humiliation on the faces of those who did good deeds as will be on the faces of the disbelievers and wicked. Rather, their faces will be fresh, radiant, and luminous.
