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.
➋ Allah fulfilled some of these promises in your lifetime, for example, the imposition of famine, hunger, and fear upon the people of Makkah. See An-Nahl (112). Because of this famine, they were forced to eat even bones, and they saw smoke everywhere between the earth and the sky. See Ad-Dukhan (10, 11). Until at that time, the leader of the disbelievers, Abu Sufyan, came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and requested for rain in these words: [أَيْ مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ قَوْمَكَ قَدْ هَلَكُوْا، فَادْعُ اللّٰهَ أَنْ يَّكْشِفَ عَنْهُمْ، فَدَعَا ] [ بخاری، التفسیر، باب « ثم تولوا …» : ۴۸۲۴ ] "O Muhammad! Surely your people have perished, so pray to Allah to remove (this calamity) from them." So you prayed. Then (the battles of) Badr, Uhud, Khandaq, Hudaybiyyah, and finally the conquest of Makkah and Khaybar, and the entire Arabian Peninsula embracing Islam in your lifetime. Allah showed you all this in your lifetime, and some promises were fulfilled after your passing in the time of the Caliphs. In any case, there remained no doubt about your truthfulness. It is stated in "Mawduh al-Qur'an": "Some of the dominance of Islam happened before you (the Prophet, peace be upon him), and the rest through your Caliphs." Perhaps in {’’اَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ‘‘} there is an indication towards the second period.

How Was the Prophecy of Punishment for the Disbelievers Fulfilled?
For the disbelievers and polytheists, the greatest pain and punishment could only be the dominance of Islam and their humiliating defeat. Thus, a major part of this punishment was witnessed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ himself, as well as by all Muslims and disbelievers, during his lifetime. Islam continued to advance and rapidly achieved stages of progress, and from the Battle of Badr to the Battle of Tabuk, the disbelievers faced nothing but defeat and humiliation both on the battlefield and socially. Whatever remained, Allah Almighty completed after your passing, and up to the era of Uthman, there came a time when the banner of Islam was raised in nearly the entire world, and disbelief was completely subdued and overpowered.
[63] Furthermore, the promise of punishment for the disbelievers was not limited only to the life of this world, but the promise of punishment in the Hereafter was permanently present. It is not possible that if they have faced punishment in this world, they will be spared in the Hereafter. In other words, if any disbeliever escapes punishment in the life of this world, then the punishment of the Hereafter is, in any case, certain and much more severe.
