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.
In this incident, there is both the denial of the resurrection by the disbelievers in the form of mockery, and, in his view, in the hypothetical case of its occurrence, the expression of certainty that he will have wealth and children there as well, by analogy with this world. In the same breath, there is denial of Allah's power to establish the resurrection, and in the same breath, the expression that He is able to give him wealth and children on the Day of Resurrection. Polytheists are ignorant in this way. Here, since the more prominent aspect is the expression of certainty of having wealth and children on the Day of Resurrection as in this world, therefore, in the previous verses (73, 74), this has been refuted, and now in the next three verses, it is further refuted.

Khabab bin Arat’s Wages to be Paid in the Hereafter:
The subject of this verse is a Qurayshi chief, ‘As bin Wa’il Sahmi, as is made clear by the following hadith: Sayyiduna Khabab bin Arat says that I used to work as a blacksmith in Makkah. I made a sword for ‘As bin Wa’il Sahmi. When I went to ‘As to ask for my wages, he said, “I will not pay you your wages until you renounce Muhammad ﷺ.” I said, “Even when Allah gives you death and then brings you back to life, I will not deny Muhammad ﷺ even then.” He said, “Well, if Allah brings me back to life after death, then He will also give me wealth and children (and at that time I will settle your account).” At that time, Allah revealed these verses [بخاري، كتاب التفسير، ترمذي، ابواب التفسير].
This same ‘As bin Wa’il’s son is Sayyiduna ‘Amr bin ‘As ؓ. When he had not yet embraced Islam, he was a representative of the Qurayshi delegation demanding the return of the Muslims who had migrated to Abyssinia. Later, when he accepted Islam, he rendered invaluable services to Islam.
