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 { نُقَيِّضْ لَهٗ شَيْطٰنًا فَهُوَ لَهٗ قَرِيْنٌ:} For its explanation, see Surah Ha Meem As-Sajdah (25). {’’ شَيْطٰنًا ‘‘} is indefinite, meaning some devil, whether from among humans or from the progeny of Iblis. The attribution of appointing the devil has been made to Allah the Exalted, although this is the result of a person’s heedlessness of Allah’s remembrance, because Allah the Exalted is the Creator of every action and all matters return to Him, as He said: «وَ اِلَى اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُوْرُ» [ البقرۃ : ۲۱۰ ] “And all matters are returned to Allah.”

[36] Ya'shu (root: 'ashw) — the basic meaning of 'asha is not being able to see things clearly due to darkness, and sometimes this word is used simply for the time of darkness. It also means not being able to see at night, being night-blind, or blind at night. And here, by ya'shu is meant deliberately not trying to see something and closing one's eyes. That is, whoever wants to deliberately remain heedless of Allah's remembrance, or the admonition that has come from Him, or the Quran, a special devil is imposed upon him who stays with him at all times, whispers into his heart, and keeps him heedless of Allah's remembrance until he finally leads him to Hell.
