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 {جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ وَ بِالزُّبُرِ وَ بِالْكِتٰبِ الْمُنِيْرِ:} Here, there is a question that {’’اَلْكِتَابُ الْمُنِيْرُ‘‘ ’’اَلزُّبُرُ‘‘} is included in {’’اَلْبَيِّنَاتُ‘‘} as well, so why is it mentioned separately with conjunction? Some scholars have answered that although all three words apply to the same thing, the conjunction is used so that a separate meaning is intended from each. Thus, {’’اَلْبَيِّنَاتُ‘‘} refers to miracles, {’’اَلزُّبُرُ‘‘} refers to those books which consist of admonition and advice, and {’’اَلْكِتَابُ الْمُنِيْرُ‘‘} refers to those books which contained the rulings of the Shariah, such as the Torah, etc. (Shawkani)

[31] The word "bayyinat" is used for miracles as well as for such proofs by which a prophet can establish his prophethood. "Suhuf" means the commands revealed by Allah, which generally consisted of admonitions and moral guidance. Before the revelation of the Torah, all prophets received only suhuf. Even to Musa, before the Torah was revealed, only suhuf were sent down. "Kitab Munir" refers to those detailed divine books that provide guidance to mankind in every aspect of life. These are four: the Torah, the Zabur, the Injil, and the Quran.
