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.

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 Although the tongue speaks in the world as well, here it speaks according to the will of the servant, because Allah’s command is so; there, it will speak according to Allah’s will, in accordance with the real truth, because it will be commanded so.
➌ Although other limbs of the body will also speak, as mentioned in Surah Ha Mim As-Sajdah (20, 21) about the skins speaking, here the tongue, hands, and feet are mentioned specifically because these limbs are more involved in slander; the words of the tongue, gestures of the hands, and running about of the feet complete the act of slander.
➍ The tongue is a piece of flesh; by the command of the Lord who created the power of speech in it, the same power will be created in every part of the body by His command. Therefore, one should not be surprised at the speech of the hands, feet, and skins. He said: «{ اِنَّمَاۤ اَمْرُهٗۤ اِذَاۤ اَرَادَ شَيْـًٔا اَنْ يَّقُوْلَ لَهٗ كُنْ فَيَكُوْنُ }» [ یٰسٓ : ۸۲ ] “His command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, ‘Be!’ and it is.” Nowadays, sound comes out of plastic CDs and cassettes, and no one is surprised.
