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 {وَ اَرْضًا لَّمْ تَطَـُٔوْهَا : ’’وَطِئَ يَطَأُ وَطْأً‘‘ ’’اَلشَّيْءَ بِرِجْلِهِ‘‘} To trample something underfoot. That is, you were also made the owner of that land upon which you had not set foot. By this is meant the land of Banu Qurayzah itself, that is, the land where, due to their power and strength, you could not even set foot, Allah made it your inheritance. Some commentators have taken this to mean the areas conquered after Banu Qurayzah, such as Khaybar, then Makkah, Hunayn, Tabuk, Persia, Rome, in short, all the areas that will come into the possession of the Muslims until the Day of Judgment. But in that case, after {’’ وَ اَوْرَثَكُمْ اَرْضَهُمْ وَ دِيَارَهُمْ وَ اَمْوَالَهُمْ ‘‘} there should have been {’’وَيُوَرِّثُكُمْ أَرْضًا لَمْ تَطَؤهَا‘‘}, that is, it should have been said that Allah made you the inheritors of the land of Banu Qurayzah, their houses, and their wealth, and He will also make you the inheritors of such land upon which you have not set foot. Although it has been answered that in the Qur'an, future events are mentioned with the past tense due to their certainty, but to mean both past and future with the same past tense {’’ وَ اَوْرَثَكُمْ ‘‘} is, in any case, worth considering.
➌ {وَ كَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرًا :} That is, all this did not happen because of your bravery or skill, but solely due to Allah's help, and Allah has always been fully capable of everything; nothing is difficult for Him.

2. Some have interpreted this as referring to the land of Khaybar, because after this—after the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah in 6 AH—the Muslims conquered Khaybar. Some have said it refers to Makkah, and some have considered the lands of Persia and Rome as its meaning, and according to some, it refers to all those lands that Muslims will conquer until the Day of Judgment.
