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.

(Ayah 41) {وَ اِنْ كَذَّبُوْكَ فَقُلْ لِّيْ عَمَلِيْ …:} That is, if they persist in denying even after the proof has been established, then clearly say to them that the duty of conveying the Quran and Allah’s commands that was placed upon me, I have fulfilled it without any omission or addition. If you refuse to believe in it, then you are responsible for your own deeds; I will bear no burden for it. For a few more verses of this meaning, see Surah Al-Baqarah (139), Aal-e-Imran (20), Ash-Shura (15), and the complete Surah Al-Kafiroon.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

41. 1. That is, even after all the explanations and presenting of arguments, if they still do not refrain from denying, then you should say this. The meaning is that my duty is only to invite and convey the message, and that I have done. Neither are you responsible for my actions, nor am I responsible for yours. Everyone will be presented before Allah, and there every person will be questioned about his good or bad deeds. This is the same thing as in "قل یا ایھا الکافروں لا اعبد ماتعبدون" and was said by Prophet Ibrahim (علیہ السلام) in these words: "انا برآء منکم ومما تعبدون من دون اللہ کفرنا بکم" — Surely, we are completely disassociated from you and from all those whom you worship besides Allah; we reject your beliefs.
