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 18) ➊ { ”صُمٌّۢ“ } is the plural of (deaf) { ”اَصَّمُ“ }. { ”بُكْمٌ“ } (dumb) is the plural of { ”اَبْكَمُ“ }, and {”عُمْيٌ“} (blind) is the plural of {’’اَعْمَي‘‘}. Their being deaf, dumb, and blind does not mean that they do not have ears, tongues, or eyes at all, but rather it means that despite having all these, they did not benefit from them, as Allah Almighty has said: «{ وَ جَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ سَمْعًا وَّ اَبْصَارًا وَّ اَفْئِدَةً فَمَاۤ اَغْنٰى عَنْهُمْ سَمْعُهُمْ وَ لَاۤ اَبْصَارُهُمْ وَ لَاۤ اَفْـئِدَتُهُمْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍ اِذْ كَانُوْا يَجْحَدُوْنَ بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ }» [ الأحقاف : ۲۶ ] "And We made for them ears and eyes and hearts, but neither their ears availed them, nor their eyes, nor their hearts, because they used to deny the signs of Allah."
➋ {فَهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُوْنَ:} That is, they do not return from the misguidance which they have purchased and to the guidance which they have sold. In these verses, the mention is of those hypocrites who professed faith with their tongues but were staunch disbelievers in their hearts.

Such people are deaf, dumb, and blind. [24] They will not return (to the path of faith).

[24] In the end, the condition of these hypocrites became such that they are deaf in regard to hearing the truth, mute in regard to speaking the truth, and even if the truth is present before them, they cannot see it.
