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 Here is a question: In Surah Al-Qasas, while mentioning the person who informed Musa (peace be upon him) about the plot to kill him, it is stated: « وَ جَآءَ رَجُلٌ مِّنْ اَقْصَا الْمَدِيْنَةِ» [ القصص : ۲۰ ] whereas here it is stated: « وَ جَآءَ مِنْ اَقْصَا الْمَدِيْنَةِ رَجُلٌ» What is the wisdom in this? The scholars have said that what is mentioned first is always that which is more important according to the context. In Surah Al-Qasas, the bravery of the person who informed Musa (peace be upon him) was more important, so {’’ رَجُلٌ ‘‘} is mentioned first, whereas here, the mention of the advisor coming from afar to admonish was more important, so {’’ مِنْ اَقْصَا الْمَدِيْنَةِ ‘‘} is mentioned first. (And Allah knows best)

[22] From this it is understood that the dialogue mentioned above between those messengers and their people did not take place over a few days, but rather spanned many years, and the call of the messengers, as well as the rejection and threats, had spread not only in this city but also in the surrounding suburbs. Thus, from among those suburbs, a righteous man—whose name is said to be Habib—when he heard that the people of the city were threatening to kill their messengers and might actually do something of the sort, he could not bear it. He himself was a devout man, earned a lawful (halal) livelihood with his own hands, and had a good reputation. As soon as he heard these things, he came running so that he could advise his people to refrain from opposing these messengers.
