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.

(Ayah80) ➊ {وَ لَقَدْ كَذَّبَ اَصْحٰبُ الْحِجْرِ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ : ’’ الْحِجْرِ ‘‘} actually refers to a place that is surrounded by stones, just as Hatim is also called Hijr. The meaning of { ’’حَجَرَ يَحْجُرُ‘‘} is also to prevent, so {’’ الْحِجْرِ ‘‘} is the place where the coming and going of ordinary people is forbidden. This is the fourth story in this Surah. {’’ الْحِجْرِ ‘‘} is a place between Syria and Madinah Munawwarah, which was the center of the people of Thamud, the nation of Salih (peace be upon him). This place is located on the road from Khaybar to Tabuk and is now famous by the name "Mada'in Salih." This area is located a few miles from { ’’العُلاء‘‘}. The caravans that travel from Hijaz to Syria must pass through here, and it is also a station on the railway line that, during the time of the Turks, used to go from Madinah to Damascus. The detailed circumstances of this nation can be seen in Surah Hud (65 to 68), Surah A'raf, Surah Qamar, and Surah Shu'ara.
➋ {الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ :} Since denying one messenger is like denying all, it is said about them that they denied the messengers. (Ruh al-Ma'ani)

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan.

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.

80. 1. The settlements of the people of Thamud, the nation of Prophet Salih (عليه السلام), were called (اَصْحٰبُ الْحِـجْرِ) 15. Al-Hijr:80) (the dwellers of Al-Hijr). This settlement was located between Madinah and Tabuk. They denied their prophet, Prophet Salih (عليه السلام). But here Allah Almighty said, "They denied the messengers," because denying one messenger is just like denying all the messengers.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

80. And the people of the Valley of Hijr [42] also denied the messengers.

[42] By the people of the Valley of Hijr is meant the nation of Thamud, to whom Salih ؑ was sent. And here, where mention is made of several messengers instead of one, it is because the fundamental teachings of all messengers have been the same; therefore, denying one messenger is tantamount to denying all messengers.
