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 { حَسَدًا مِّنْ عِنْدِ اَنْفُسِهِمْ......: } Despite recognizing the truth, this desire of theirs is merely due to jealousy, and this jealousy is not because of any religious motivation, but because of the malice and enmity in their hearts. This shows the evil of jealousy: they themselves are deprived of faith and cannot even tolerate seeing this blessing with others. The refusal of Iblis to prostrate, Qabil killing his brother, the brothers of Yusuf oppressing their brother, and the People of the Book denying and being hostile to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) despite recognizing him—all were caused by this jealousy.
➌ {فَاعْفُوْا وَ اصْفَحُوْا:} That is, until Allah commands you to fight them, act with forgiveness and forbearance, and do not lose control because of their petty attacks and jealousy and malice. Then, when the command for fighting came, Banu Nadir and Banu Qaynuqa were exiled, and Banu Qurayza were killed.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan.

The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
[127] The reason for the Jews’ envy and hostility has already been mentioned above. It is because they wish, through various means and excuses, to turn the Muslims away from Islam and thereby weaken the strength of the Muslims. Therefore, O Muslims! You should fully understand the reality of their inner enmity and malice, and do not become provoked by their reactions, nor get entangled in debates and arguments with them, nor waste your time. Rather, disregard them and leave them to their own state, and with patience, observe what Allah decides regarding them. And Allah will certainly give them their full punishment, for He has power over everything.
[128] The punishment for the mischief of the Jews: Allah’s command was that they should be fought against. Then, some of them (Banu Nadir) were exiled in utter humiliation and later forced to pay jizyah, and some others (Banu Qurayzah) were imprisoned and then killed, and their women and children were made slaves.
