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 {مَا كَانَ حُجَّتَهُمْ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ قَالُوا …:} It is obvious that their saying, "If you are truthful that the Resurrection will come, then bring our forefathers back to life right now," is not an argument or proof, but rather a most futile statement, as detailed in Surah Ad-Dukhan (36). Here, it is called an argument only to make it clear that they have no argument at all, because what they consider an argument in their imagination has nothing to do with actual argument or proof. Calling it their argument is also meant as mockery and ridicule of them, that the arguments and proofs of these intelligent people are of this kind.

The Objection of the Deniers of the Hereafter: Show Us a Dead Person Brought Back to Life:
Their only response is that if life after death is certain, then bring back to life one of our great elders so we can see. However, the claim of the prophets is never that when someone denies, they can bring a dead person out of the grave to show him so that he becomes fully convinced. Rather, their claim is only that after the Day of Resurrection, Allah Almighty will resurrect all human beings at once. It is not that before the Resurrection, the dead will be brought back to life from time to time. Then, when He will resurrect your forefathers, He will also resurrect you, and the entire reality will become clear before all of you.
