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 { اِنَّمَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ :} This {’’ اِنَّمَا ‘‘} is not a word of exclusivity but {’’اِنَّ مَا‘‘}, which according to the Uthmani script of the Mushaf is written together. By emphasizing the implied pronoun in the relative clause {’’مَا‘‘} with { ’’ هُوَ ‘‘ }, exclusivity is created in the speech, meaning that only the wealth obtained according to the Shariah is better for you, nothing else, as Shu'ayb (peace be upon him) said: «{ بَقِيَّتُ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ }» [ ھود : ۸۶ ] "What is left by Allah is better for you, if you are believers." "What is with Allah" also includes Paradise, because it is everlasting, while the world is perishable.

No Matter How Many Benefits There Are, They Are Insignificant Compared to Fulfilling the Covenant:
The covenant made with Allah refers both to the Covenant of Alast and to every covenant in which Allah is invoked as a witness and guarantor, or in which His oath is taken. If, in exchange for breaking this covenant, you were to receive all the benefits, wealth, and riches of the world, they would still be little and insignificant compared to the lofty value of fulfilling the covenant. Therefore, instead of focusing on worldly benefits, you should keep your eyes on the reward of the Hereafter, which is far better than these benefits.
