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 In Surah Ya-Sin it is stated: «{ وَ جَآءَ مِنْ اَقْصَا الْمَدِيْنَةِ رَجُلٌ يَّسْعٰى }» [ یٰس : ۲۰ ] whereas here it is: «{ وَ جَآءَ رَجُلٌ مِّنْ اَقْصَا الْمَدِيْنَةِ يَسْعٰى }». The commentators have said that in every place, the word that is important there is mentioned first. At this place, it is important to mention the manliness of this person, so the word {’’ رَجُلٌ ‘‘} is mentioned first, because despite being aware of the consequences of exposing Pharaoh’s secret, he informed Musa عليه السلام without caring for his own life, and this can only be the act of a man. Furthermore, it was also his manliness that he reached from a very distant place before the official troops.
➌ Shah Abdul Qadir رحمه الله writes: “This was narrated to our Prophet that people would plot to take his life and he too would leave his homeland. Thus, the disbelievers all gathered to attack him together, and on that very night, he migrated from his homeland.” (Muwadhih)

The Information Reaches Sayyiduna Musa ؑ About the Plot to Kill Him and His Departure Towards Madyan:
The courtiers of Pharaoh now had no doubt left that Musa, despite being a member of the royal family, was siding with the Children of Israel. Therefore, after mutual consultation, they decided that Musa should be killed. Among the courtiers, there was a man who was sincerely well-wishing towards Musa. He immediately got up from there and, running, reached Musa ؑ and said: As soon as possible, leave this city because there are discussions about killing you, and I have rushed here only with the thought that I should inform you of the real situation in time. Therefore, do not delay and immediately go far away from here.
