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 Even before this question, in response to the questions of Munkar and Nakir in the grave, the disbeliever and the hypocrite will say: [ هَاهْ هَاهْ لَا أَدْرِيْ ] “Alas, alas, I do not know.” [ دیکھیے أبوداوٗد، السنۃ، باب المسألۃ في القبر… : ۴۷۵۳، عن البراء بن عازب رضی اللہ عنہ ، و صححہ الألباني ] This too will be the result of the news becoming dark for them.
➌ Here it is stated: «{ فَهُمْ لَا يَتَسَآءَلُوْنَ}» “They will not (even) ask one another.” Elsewhere it is stated: «{ وَ اَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ يَّتَسَآءَلُوْنَ }» [ الصافات : ۲۷ ] “And some of them will turn to others, asking questions.” Similarly, here it is stated: “They will not be able to give any answer.” Elsewhere it is stated, they will say: «{ وَ اللّٰهِ رَبِّنَا مَا كُنَّا مُشْرِكِيْنَ }» [ الأنعام : ۲۳ ] “By Allah, our Lord, we were not among those who associated partners.” The reality of this apparent contradiction is that the Day of Resurrection is very long. During it, the disbelievers will face many stages, in which sometimes they will remain silent, sometimes they will deny their crime, sometimes they will confess and say that misfortune has overcome them, sometimes they will question one another, and sometimes they will not be able to question one another. Therefore, due to the different contexts, there is no real contradiction in these verses. See also Surah Al-An’am (22, 23).

[90] They will not be able to understand what answer to give to this question of Allah Almighty. Nor will they be able to ask anyone else for the answer to this question. The terror of that day will be so great that they will not be able to ask each other anything.
