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 {وَ لَنَجْزِيَنَّ الَّذِيْنَ صَبَرُوْۤا … :} When the lam of emphasis and the noon of heavy emphasis come together, they give the effect of an oath-like emphasis. The meaning of sabr (patience) is to bind oneself to something and to restrain oneself, that is, those who remained firm on the truth in the face of worldly greed. Sabr is the best deed, because it is the foundation of all deeds. There are three types of it: to remain steadfast on the commands of Allah and His Messenger and to keep one's nature bound to them is sabr; likewise, to restrain oneself from what Allah has forbidden is sabr; and the third type is to restrain oneself from panic and complaining to Allah at the time of calamity. Allah has sworn that He will reward those who are patient according to their best deeds. By "best deed" is meant sabr, that is, they will be rewarded according to their patience. Another meaning is that We will give them a reward much better than their deeds, which is at least tenfold and at most without measure, as He said: «{ اِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصّٰبِرُوْنَ اَجْرَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ }» [ الزمر : ۱۰ ] "Only those who are perfectly patient will be given their reward without measure."

[100] Those who are patient are those who do not sacrifice the high values and principles of Islam for worldly benefits, but rather sacrifice worldly benefits for the sake of principles. No matter how much wealth and how many worldly benefits there are, they are few, because all of them are destined to end and perish. However, the reward that will be received in the Hereafter for rejecting worldly benefits for the sake of principles will be much better, lasting, and eternal.
