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 Here, to inform and reassure the mother of Musa (peace be upon him), the words {’’ اَوْحَيْنَاۤ ‘‘} (We revealed) and {’’ يُوْحٰۤى ‘‘} (which was revealed) have been used. The literal meaning of "wahy" is a swift sign or putting something into the heart. In technical terms, when this word is used for a prophet, it means sending a message through an angel. In the Quran, the word "wahy" has been used in both senses; thus, the revelation sent to the mother of Musa (peace be upon him) was also in the literal sense, that is, in a dream or by some secret way, this matter was put into her heart, by which she gained certainty and reassurance. Because there is almost consensus among the scholars that all the prophets of Allah have been from among men; no woman has been made a prophet. See Surah Yusuf (109) and Al-Anbiya (7). Therefore, the mother of Musa (peace be upon him) was not a prophet, so the meaning of "wahy" for her is not the same as it is for a prophet. (Kabir)
