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.

(Ayah 27){ اِنَّ الْمُبَذِّرِيْنَ۠ كَانُوْۤااِخْوَانَ الشَّيٰطِيْنِ … :} The extravagant have always been declared as brothers of the devils, that is, companions of the devils and like them, and the reason stated is that the devil always shows ingratitude for the blessings and abilities granted by Allah by spending them in the wrong place. Similarly, the person who spends the wealth given by the Owner in disobedience to the Owner is in the same condition. The meaning of "always" in the translation is evident from {’’ كَانُوْۤا‘‘} and {’’ كَانَ ‘‘}. The commentator Tantawi writes: {’’ وَكَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ فِيْ كُلِّ وَقْتٍ وَفِيْ كُلِّ حَالٍ جَحُوْدًا لِنِعَمِ رَبِّهٖ لَا يَشْكُرُهُ عَلَيْهَا ‘‘ }

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. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. 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.

27. 1. The root of "tabdheer" is "badhar" (seed). Just as when sowing seeds in the ground, it is not considered whether the seed is falling in the right place or here and there, rather the farmer keeps scattering the seeds. Wastefulness is also like this, that a person scatters his wealth like seeds and exceeds the limits set by Shariah in spending. And some say that the meaning of "tabdheer" is to spend in unlawful matters, even if it is a little. In our view, both situations fall under "tabdheer". And this is such an evil act that its perpetrator is likened to Satan, and one should avoid resembling Satan, even if it is in a single trait; it is obligatory for a person. Then, by calling Satan "kafoor" (very ungrateful), further emphasis is placed on avoiding it. If you adopt resemblance to Satan, you too will be declared "kafoor" like him. (Fath al-Qadeer)
