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 { لَا تَكَلَّمُ نَفْسٌ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِهٖ:} From here, the intercession of the Christians and some Muslims is refuted, which according to their belief is in the power of certain personalities that, due to being beloved to Allah or being very mighty, they will save whomever they wish, whereas there, without Allah's permission, no one will even dare to speak. See Surah Naba (38).
➌ {فَمِنْهُمْ شَقِيٌّ وَّ سَعِيْدٌ : ’’ شَقِيٌّ ‘‘} is on the pattern of {’’فَعِيْلٌ‘‘} for emphasis. In Qamus it is stated that {’’اَلشَّقَا‘‘} is sometimes also called {’’اَلشَّقَاءُ‘‘}, meaning hardship, distress. {’’شَقِيَ يَشْقٰي‘‘} (ع) is like {’’رَضِيَ يَرْضٰي‘‘}, i.e., it is a defective verb with waw. Zamakhshari has said: {’’اَلَّذِيْ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ النَّارُ بِإِسَاءَتِهِ ‘‘} meaning, that wretched one for whom, due to his evil deeds, the Fire has become obligatory. {’’ سَعِيْدٌ ‘‘} is the fortunate one for whom, due to his good deeds, Paradise has become obligatory.

The Strict Conditions for Intercession with Allah:
Those people who rely on the intercession of their elders should take a lesson from this verse. In the stories about the saints, we often find such tales that a certain elder will sit with pride and will not be pleased until he has secured forgiveness for each of his disciples, and will not enter Paradise himself, and in the end, he will make Allah accept his request. However, that day will be so severe that even the Prophets will hesitate to intercede for people before Allah, and in the end, the lot will fall to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he alone will intercede before Allah. Without a doubt, the intercession of other Prophets and some other righteous people is also proven from the hadith, but there are very strict conditions for this intercession. One is that only that person will be able to intercede who has been granted permission by Allah, and even then, he will only be able to intercede for the one for whom Allah wills, and only for that particular sin for which Allah allows intercession. Therefore, those who rely on such intercession will have to face severe disappointment there.
