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 117){ فَقُلْنَا يٰۤاٰدَمُ اِنَّ هٰذَا عَدُوٌّ لَّكَ … :} The enmity was expressed with the refusal to prostrate. For more details, see Surah Al-A'raf (22) {’’ فَتَشْقٰى ‘‘} then you will fall into hardship, meaning you will have to toil for sustenance, and all the comforts and blessings of Paradise will be taken away. The specific attribution of hardship to Adam (peace be upon him) is because the man has been made the manager of the woman and responsible for her expenses. Therefore, the principal one is Adam (peace be upon him) himself, and Hawwa (peace be upon her) is subordinate to him.

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.

117. 1. This "shaqa" is in the meaning of toil, hardship, and labor, that is, in Paradise, the conveniences of food and drink, clothing, and dwelling are obtained without any effort. In the case of being expelled from Paradise, one will have to work hard for all four of these things, just as every human being has to strive for the provision of these basic necessities in the world. Furthermore, only Adam was told that he would fall into toil and hardship. Both were not addressed, even though both Adam and Hawwa had eaten from the tree. Therefore, the primary addressee was Adam himself. Also, the responsibility for providing basic necessities is upon the man, not the woman. Allah Almighty has spared the woman from this toil and hardship and granted her the honor of being the queen of the home. But today, this "divine honor" appears to the woman as a "collar of slavery" from which she is restless and striving to be free. Alas! How effective is the deception of Satan, and how beautiful and alluring is his snare.
