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 75) ➊ { اُولٰٓىِٕكَيُجْزَوْنَالْغُرْفَةَ …:’’ غُرْفَةٌ ‘‘} Every lofty building and high palace, upper chamber. By {’’ الْغُرْفَةَ ‘‘} is not meant a single upper chamber, but rather the kind, meaning that the servants of the Most Merciful will be granted the upper chambers of Paradise, that is, high palaces, in return for their patience, whose height will be according to their ranks. Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: [ إِنَّأَهْلَالْجَنَّةِيَتَرَاءَوْنَأَهْلَالْغُرَفِمِنْفَوْقِهِمْ،كَمَايَتَرَاءَوْنَالْكَوْكَبَالدُّرِّيَّالْغَابِرَفِيالْأُفُقِمِنَالْمَشْرِقِأَوِالْمَغْرِبِلِتَفَاضُلِمَابَيْنَهُمْ ][ بخاري، بدء الخلق، باب ما جاء في صفۃ الجنۃ … : ۳۲۵۶ ] "The people of Paradise will look towards those in the upper chambers above them as you see a bright star shining far away on the horizon in the east or west, due to the superiority of their ranks over one another." And see Surah Az-Zumar (20) and Al-Ankabut (58).
➋ { بِمَاصَبَرُوْا:} That is, the servants of the Most Merciful will receive this blessing because of their patience, as they were patient in doing good, patient in avoiding evil, and patient in the hardships faced in the path of truth. And Allah the Exalted said: «{ اِنَّمَايُوَفَّىالصّٰبِرُوْنَاَجْرَهُمْبِغَيْرِحِسَابٍ }»[ الزمر : ۱۰ ] "Only those who are patient will be given their reward without measure."
➌ The root of { وَيُلَقَّوْنَفِيْهَاتَحِيَّةًوَّسَلٰمًا : ’’ تَحِيَّةً ‘‘ ’’حَيّٰيُحَيِّيْ‘‘} is to pray for life. For the greeting and welcome of the people of Paradise by their Lord and the angels, see Surah Ar-Ra'd (23, 24), Al-Anbiya (101 to 103), Az-Zumar (73), and Surah Ya-Sin (55 to 58).

75. These are the ones who will be rewarded for their patience with lofty chambers [93] (in Paradise), where they will be greeted with greetings of life and peace.
[93] By "upper chamber" it is not meant that it will be located on the upper floor of a two-story building. Rather, it refers to a dwelling place situated in elevated ranks, and Paradise has one hundred levels, one above the other. That is, among Allah's servants, to whatever extent the aforementioned qualities are found, accordingly they will be granted high ranks and residence therein. Then, for the reception of such servants of Allah, angels will be present who will greet them with peace and offer prayers of safety for them. After settling in Paradise, these very words of greeting and prayer will be used in their mutual meetings as a means of honoring and showing respect to them.
