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 Before { اَنْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا مُّسْرِفِيْنَ: ’’ اَنْ ‘‘}, the prepositional letter "lam" is omitted, and in {’’ كُنْتُمْ ‘‘} there is continuity: {’’أَيْ لِأَنْ كُنْتُمْ‘‘} "because you have been transgressing people." The meaning of the verse is that We have revealed such a highly ranked Qur'an in your language for your understanding, but you persisted in excess and extravagance and continued to deny, so should We, due to your continuous excess and denial, remove this reminder from you while turning away and stop explaining to you? That is, We will not do so, nor does this befit Our mercy, because your excess and misguidance are actually the reason for the Qur'an being revealed. Thus, despite their denial, the Qur'an continued to be revealed for twenty-three years, countless blessed souls believed in it, and for those who persisted in disbelief, the proof was established, and from their descendants too, countless people became followers of Islam.

[5] That is, O disbelievers of Makkah! If you do not refrain from your mischiefs, mocking the verses of the Quran, sometimes calling it tales of the ancients, sometimes calling it the speech of men—then, because of such mischiefs of yours, should We abandon the task of guiding creation and stop the revelation of the Quran? In any case, there are two benefits being achieved from its revelation: firstly, many blessed souls are benefiting from it, and secondly, the proof is being established against you people.
