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 { ثُمَّ يُصِرُّ مُسْتَكْبِرًا:} Here, the word {’’ ثُمَّ ‘‘} is used to express amazement, that if he had not heard the verses of Allah, it would have been a different matter, but the amazement is at the fact that the verses of Allah are recited before him, yet he insists on disbelief with arrogance, even though arrogance does not befit a human, because greatness is only Allah’s attribute. This is just like what is stated at the beginning of Surah Al-An’am: «اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ وَ جَعَلَ الظُّلُمٰتِ وَ النُّوْرَ ثُمَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُوْنَ » [ الأنعام : ۱ ] “All praise is due to Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth and made the darkness and the light, yet those who disbelieve equate others with their Lord.”
➌ { فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ اَلِيْمٍ:} Basharah means glad tidings, that is, the happy news whose effects become apparent on the face. Here, this word is used for mockery, that is, ridicule. In this verse, the mention is of a painful punishment, in the next verse a humiliating punishment, and in the verse after that a great punishment. In this verse, due to the insistence on disbelief and arrogance, the glad tidings of a painful punishment are given.

[9] Such people, who verbally acknowledge the aforementioned signs of Allah but in practice accept that others have control and authority over these things, are in fact those who slander Allah by associating others in His actions or by handing over all authority to them. Their second characteristic is that they are people with a criminal conscience; no teaching or guidance suits them that imposes moral restrictions upon them. If they accept someone’s advice, their ego is hurt. And their third characteristic is that, due to their arrogance and pride, they consider themselves to be very superior and do not care to listen to the signs of Allah, thinking that they already know all these things. Who can teach us anything?
