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: not only the offspring but also their fathers were aboard the ship, so why did Allah say, "We carried their offspring in the filled ship," instead of saying, "We carried them in the filled ship"? The answer is that before Noah (peace be upon him), the fathers did not know the method of making a ship, nor could they travel by sea. After Adam (peace be upon him), all his offspring whom Allah intended to preserve were all aboard that ship, and after the flood, only they remained on the earth; all others were drowned, as Allah said about Noah (peace be upon him): « وَ جَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهٗ هُمُ الْبٰقِيْنَ » [الصافات : ۷۷ ] "And We made his offspring the survivors." Therefore, here it is said {’’ اَنَّا حَمَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ فِي الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُوْنِ‘‘}. (Nazm al-Durr) Elsewhere, the same ship is mentioned in these words: « اِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا الْمَآءُ حَمَلْنٰكُمْ فِي الْجَارِيَةِ (11) لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةً وَّ تَعِيَهَاۤ اُذُنٌ وَّاعِيَةٌ » [ الحآقۃ : ۱۱، ۱۲ ] "Indeed, it is We who, when the water overflowed, carried you in the ship, so that We might make it for you a reminder and that a listening ear might remember it."

[40] The "laden ship" refers to the ship that Sayyiduna Nuhؑ built before the flood according to Allah’s instructions. In it, besides Sayyiduna Nuhؑ, all the believers, their provisions for food and drink, and a pair of every kind of living creature were loaded. This filled the ship, and it was as if the entire human race was loaded in it, because all the humans present today are the descendants of those who were aboard that ship.
