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 Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman narrates that I asked Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand for night prayer, with what would he begin his prayer? She replied: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would rise at night, he would begin his prayer with this supplication: [ اَللّٰهُمَّ رَبَّ جِبْرَائِيْلَ وَ مِيْكَائِيْلَ وَ إِسْرَافِيْلَ فَاطِرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ أَنْتَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِيْمَا كَانُوْا فِيْهِ يَخْتَلِفُوْنَ اهْدِنِيْ لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فِيْهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِكَ إِنَّكَ تَهْدِيْ مَنْ تَشَاءُ إِلٰی صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ ] [ مسلم، صلاۃ المسافرین، باب صلاۃ النبي صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم و دعائہ باللیل : ۷۷۰ ] “O Allah! Lord of Jibreel, Mikaeel, and Israfeel! O Creator of the heavens and the earth! O Knower of the seen and unseen! You alone will decide among Your servants concerning that in which they differ. Guide me, by Your permission, to the truth in those matters in which there is disagreement, for You guide whom You will to the straight path.”
Abu Rashid Hubrani says: I said to Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them): Relate to us something from what you heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So he brought out a book and said: This is the book which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) dictated to me. I looked and it was written in it that Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “O Messenger of Allah! Teach me what I should recite in the morning and evening.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “O Abu Bakr! Recite this: [ اَللّٰهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ مَلِيْكَهُ أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِيْ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ شِرْكِهِ وَ أَنْ أَقْتَرِفَ عَلٰی نَفْسِيْ سُوْءًا أَوْ أَجُرَّهُ إِلٰی مُسْلِمٍ ] [ ترمذي، الدعوات، باب دعاء علمہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم أبا بکر… : ۳۵۲۹، و قال الألباني صحیح ] ‘O Allah! O Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen! There is no deity worthy of worship except You. O Lord and Sovereign of all things! I seek refuge in You from the evil of my own self, from the evil of Satan and his polytheism (shirk), and from committing any evil against my own soul or bringing harm to any Muslim.’”

Supplication After Explaining to the Polytheists:
That is, when even in such clear matters there begin to be disagreements and disputes, and there is no sense of Allah’s dignity and greatness left, and all loyalties and devotions are reserved not for Allah but only for those beloved to Allah—then, O Allah! Now we cry out to You, and it is only Your forbearance that endures all this. Such people are given respite, and their judgment is deferred to the Day of Resurrection. When a person is not willing to listen to the truth and instead argues unjustly, everyone should recite this supplication which Allah Almighty taught to His Prophet.
