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 By { وَ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْكٰذِبُوْنَ : ’’ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ ‘‘} is meant those who do not believe in Allah, that is, lying is their habit, because they are deprived of faith, which is what restrains a person from sin.
➌ It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: [ آيَةُ الْمُنَافِقِ ثَلَاثٌ إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَ إِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ وَ إِذَا ائْتُمِنَ خَانَ ] [ بخاری، الإیمان، باب علامات المنافق : ۳۳ ] “The signs of a hypocrite are three: when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when something is entrusted to him, he betrays the trust.”
Shaykh Abdul Rahman Mu’allimi has written in {’’ التنكيل‘‘} that if one reflects, the basis of all three signs of a hypocrite is lying, because breaking a promise is blameworthy only when, at the time of making the promise, he does not intend to fulfill it. If, at the time of making the promise, he intends to fulfill it, but then is unable to do so due to some excuse, then there is no blame on him. And betrayal of trust cannot occur unless he lies.

The Quraysh Who Accused of Fabrication Were Themselves Fabricators:
The Quraysh knew that this Prophet had never told a lie in his entire life, nor had he ever falsely attributed anything to anyone. So can that same person now attribute a lie to Allah? And can he say that this speech has been revealed to me from Allah, when in reality it is not so? In fact, the real liars and fabricators are these people themselves, who knowingly and deliberately say such false things about the Prophet, and attribute the speech revealed by Allah to others.
