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 اِنْ يُّكَذِّبُوْكَ ‘‘ } is a conditional clause, its result is omitted but is understood by itself: {’’وَإِنْ يُكَذِّبُوْكَ فَتَأَسَّ بِالرُّسُلِ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فَقَدْ كُذِّبَتْ رُسُلٌ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ‘‘} that is, if they deny you, then take comfort from the conditions of the messengers before you, because many messengers before you were denied and they were patient over their people's denial. In this, there is comfort for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and a warning for the deniers that just as the people who denied the messengers before were destroyed, so too will these people be destroyed. In many places in the Noble Qur'an, you have been comforted by referring to the previous messengers, as He said: «وَ لَقَدْ كُذِّبَتْ رُسُلٌ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ فَصَبَرُوْا عَلٰى مَا كُذِّبُوْا وَ اُوْذُوْا حَتّٰۤى اَتٰىهُمْ نَصْرُنَا وَ لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَ لَقَدْ جَآءَكَ مِنْ نَّبَاِي الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ » [الأنعام : ۳۴ ] "And indeed, messengers before you were denied, but they were patient over being denied and hurt, until Our help came to them, and there is no one to change the words of Allah, and indeed, some news of those messengers has come to you." And see Surah Ha Mim As-Sajdah (43).
➌ {وَ اِلَى اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُوْرُ : } That is, where will these people go after denying you? In the end, all matters will be presented before Us, and We alone will decide them. Along with monotheism and messengership, the mention of the Hereafter is made.

[7] This theme has appeared numerous times in the Quran. In fact, it would not be incorrect to say that it is found in most of the Makki surahs. During the thirteen-year Makkan period, the disbelievers of Makkah persistently opposed you, and in this regard, they used the lowest of tactics. They inflicted harm, continued to deny, and mocked as well. Meanwhile, the Muslims were only commanded to endure all these things with patience and perseverance. However, Allah Almighty repeatedly revealed such phrases to comfort and encourage the Prophet of Islam and the Muslims, assuring them that there is nothing to worry about. In the struggle between truth and falsehood, previous messengers were treated in the same way, and the decision and outcome of any matter are not in the hands of these people; rather, the outcome and decision of all matters are in the hands of Allah. Therefore, remain content and place your trust in Allah.
