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).

➋ {لِيَدَّبَّرُوْۤا اٰيٰتِهٖ …: ’’ لِيَدَّبَّرُوْۤا ‘‘} is originally {’’لِيَتَدَبَّرُوْا‘‘} (tafa‘‘ul). That is, the purpose of revealing this Book is that people ponder over its verses and those with intellect take admonition from it, because only they take admonition, as He said: « اِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ اُولُوا الْاَلْبَابِ» [ الرعد : ۱۹ ] "Only those with intellect accept admonition." The benefit of pondering over the verses is when a person acts upon them. Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) has narrated the saying of Hasan Basri: "By Allah! Pondering over the Qur’an is not just to memorize its words and neglect its limits and rulings, to the extent that some people say, 'I have recited the whole Qur’an,' even though no effect of the Qur’an is seen in their morals and habits, nor in their actions and deeds." This was narrated by Ibn Abi Hatim. (Ibn Kathir)
