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 جَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ عَلِيًّا :} Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) interpreted this as {’’ثَنَاءٌ حَسَنٌ‘‘} (good reputation). [ طبری بسند ثابت ] By saying {’’ لِسَانَ ‘‘}, it refers to something associated with the tongue, i.e., fame and renown, just as by saying {’’يَدٌ‘‘ }, they mean kindness, because that is associated with the hand. {’’ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ ‘‘} True renown means that they were truly deserving of that fame and reputation, and their actions validated that reputation, so their mention of goodness was made to remain forever on people's tongues. Thus, Jews, Christians, and Muslims all honor them, and the Durood Ibrahimi in prayer is also a result of the acceptance of Ibrahim's (peace be upon him) supplication. See Surah Ash-Shu'ara (84).
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

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.
50. 2. By "lisān ṣidq" is meant good praise and a beautiful mention. The word "lisān" is annexed to "ṣidq," and then its attribute of elevation is mentioned, indicating that the beautiful mention of him that remains on the tongues of people is truly deserved by him. Just observe that all followers of other religions, even the polytheists, mention Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and his progeny in very good words and with utmost respect and reverence. This is another reward, after prophethood and children, which he received due to migration in the way of Allah.

The Universal Acceptance of Prophet Ibrahimؑ Among All Religions:
All religions and nations honor and praise him, and they connect their respective faiths to him and remember him with good mention. Just as the Ummah of Muhammad always sends blessings upon the Messenger of Allahﷺ and his family in their prayers, they also send blessings upon Sayyiduna Ibrahimؑ and his family. In reality, this is the fruit of the acceptance of Sayyiduna Ibrahimؑ’s prayer [84: 26].
