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 { فَلَا يَصِلُوْنَ اِلَيْكُمَا بِاٰيٰتِنَاۤ:} The second promise is that in the face of the Pharaoh’s people, We will grant both of you such dominance and awe that, because of Our miracles being with you, they will not be able to reach you nor harm you in any way. Accordingly, this is what happened later: despite all their resources, means, weapons, and armies, Pharaoh and his chiefs never had the courage or strength to lay a hand on them. This is the interpretation if {’’ بِاٰيٰتِنَاۤ ‘‘} is related to {’’ فَلَا يَصِلُوْنَ ‘‘}.
➌ {بِاٰيٰتِنَاۤ اَنْتُمَا وَ مَنِ اتَّبَعَكُمَا الْغٰلِبُوْنَ:} This is the third promise: that you two and your followers will ultimately be victorious. If {’’بِاٰيٰتِنَاۤ ‘‘} is related to {’’ الْغٰلِبُوْنَ ‘‘}, the meaning will be that you two and your followers will remain dominant by virtue of Our miracles. The theme that the messengers and their followers will ultimately prevail is mentioned in several places in the Qur’an. See Surah Al-Mu’min (51) and Al-Mujadila (21).

Al-Ma'idah:68, (الَّذِيْنَ يُبَلِّغُوْنَ رِسٰلٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَيَخْشَوْنَهٗ وَلَا يَخْشَوْنَ اَحَدًا اِلَّا اللّٰهَ ۭوَكَفٰى باللّٰهِ حَسِيْبًا) 33. Al-Ahzab:39) (كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ لَاَغْلِبَنَّ اَنَا وَرُسُلِيْ ۭ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَوِيٌّ عَزِيْزٌ) 58. Al-Mujadilah:21) (اِنَّا لَنَنْصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَيَوْمَ يَقُوْمُ الْاَشْهَادُ 51ۙ يَوْمَ لَا يَنْفَعُ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ مَعْذِرَتُهُمْ وَلَهُمُ اللَّعْنَةُ وَلَهُمْ سُوْۗءُ الدَّارِ 52) 40. Ghafir:52-51)

[45] In response to this request, Allah Almighty mentioned three matters. First, that those people would never be able to harm him in any way, and not a hair on his head would be touched. Instead of killing him, they would be preoccupied with their own governmental affairs. Second, the request to make his brother Harun a prophet and send him along was accepted. He would accompany you to Pharaoh’s court. Third, he was assured that ultimately, victory would be his.
