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.

(Ayah99){فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوْا عَلٰى يُوْسُفَ …:} That is, Jacob (peace be upon him) set out from Canaan with all his household and reached Egypt. The words of the verse, "Enter Egypt," indicate that Joseph (peace be upon him) went out of the city, met with the dignitaries of the government and the public, and welcomed his father and family members with great honor and glory. He especially kept his father in a separate tent from the other tents that were set up for the reception, and said, "Now you all enter Egypt." God willing, you will live here in great peace. Do not worry about famine, poverty, enemies, or anything else. Some have written that Joseph (peace be upon him) said these words after entering Egypt. By {’’ اَبَوَيْهِ ‘‘} is meant the parents. Many commentators have written that the mother of Joseph (peace be upon him) passed away at the birth of his younger brother; this mother was actually Joseph's maternal aunt, whom Jacob (peace be upon him) later married. The only evidence for this is the Israelite traditions, whose authenticity is not certain. However, some have written that his mother was alive and she herself reached Egypt with Jacob (peace be upon him). (Ma‘alim) Ibn Jarir (may Allah have mercy on him) preferred this second opinion, and Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) supported it, and above all, the apparent meaning of the words of the Noble Qur’an is the same. Here, one feels regret for those commentators who, after the explicit statement of the Noble Qur’an, insist on calling Azar an uncle instead of a father and Joseph’s mother his maternal aunt. Only by reading those books whose statements the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade us from believing to be true, even though he also forbade us from calling them false, but what is the need to distort the words of the Qur’an with such unbelievable things?

The Arrival of the Family of Yaqub in Egypt:

When the entire family of Sayyiduna Yusuf (Joseph) ؑ set out from Canaan and arrived in Egypt, Sayyiduna Yusuf ؑ, accompanied by the prominent dignitaries of the state and military officers, went out to welcome his father and family. With full pomp and grandeur, he brought them to the capital. It was a day of celebration; women, men, and children all gathered to witness this procession, and a wave of happiness spread throughout the land. At that time, Sayyiduna Yusuf ؑ said to his father that they should reside here in Egypt and live with complete peace of mind; Insha’Allah, there would be no danger of famine or anything else.
