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 { اَنَّا خَلَقْنٰهُ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ : ’’ نُطْفَةٍ ‘‘ ’’نَطَفَ يَنْطُفُ‘‘} (n, d) To drip; in this, the tanween is for belittlement, a small and insignificant drop, that is, does man not know that We created him from a humble drop? Basar bin Juhash al-Qurashi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: [ بَزَقَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلَّمَ فِيْ كَفِّهِ، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ أُصْبَعَهُ السَّبَّابَةَ وَقَالَ يَقُوْلُ اللّٰهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنّٰی تُعْجِزُنِي ابْنَ آدَمَ وَقَدْ خَلَقْتُكَ مِنْ مِثْلِ هٰذِهِ، فَإِذَا بَلَغَتْ نَفْسُكَ هٰذِهِ، وَأَشَارَ إِلٰی حَلْقِهِ، قُلْتَ أَتَصَدَّقُ، وَأَنّٰی أَوَانُ الصَّدَقَةِ؟ ] [ابن ماجہ، الوصایا، باب النھي عن الإمساک… : ۲۷۰۷، قال البوصیري صحیح وقال الألباني حسن ] "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spat in his palm, then placed his index finger on it and said: 'Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: O son of Adam! How can you render Me powerless, when I created you from something like this? And when your soul reaches here (and he pointed to his throat), you say: I will give charity. So where is the time for charity now?'"
➌ { فَاِذَا هُوَ خَصِيْمٌ مُّبِيْنٌ : ’’ خَصِيْمٌ ‘‘} is an intensive form, meaning very argumentative. {’’إِذَا‘‘} Faja’iyyah means suddenly, that is, the occurrence of such a strange thing that was not even imagined, that is, the right of a human being created from such a humble drop was that his head should always remain bowed under the weight of Our favor. It was never expected that he would resort to open argument and become so excessively argumentative. See Surah An-Nahl (4).

[69] The reality of man is that he was created from a drop of fluid that was made from lifeless substances. Then Allah breathed a soul into him, and not only did he begin to move, eat, drink, and grow like other living beings, but he was also endowed with intellect, understanding, the power of deduction, reasoning, and the abilities of speech and eloquence that no other creature possessed. And when he reached this stage, he began to raise various arguments and disputes about his Creator.
