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 The dual of {فَاَصْلِحُوْا بَيْنَ اَخَوَيْكُمْ: ’’أَخٌ‘‘} is {’’أَخَوَانِ‘‘} and {’’أَخَوَيْنِ‘‘}, and when it is annexed to {’’كُمْ‘‘}, the noon of declension drops, and {’’أَخَوَيْ‘‘} remains, which, when joined with {’’كُمْ‘‘}, becomes {’’ اَخَوَيْكُمْ ‘‘}, so make peace between your two brothers, whether the two are individuals or two groups.
➌ { وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ:} That is, when making peace, keep in mind that you are reconciling between your two brothers, who also share the bond of brotherhood with you. Therefore, consider this relationship and make peace with complete justice and fear of Allah, so that neither party is deprived of their rights nor is anyone wronged. If you fulfill this duty fearing Allah, then surely Allah will have mercy on you. The word {’’لَعَلَّ‘‘} is used to give hope, but in the speech of great people, it conveys certainty, because it is not befitting their status to give hope and then not fulfill it. Then, when the King of kings and the Owner of the entire universe gives hope, how can there be any doubt about its certainty? Besides, the word {’’لَعَلَّ‘‘} also comes in the meaning of “so that.” The meaning is that Allah’s mercy is for those who fear Him, so when reconciling between brothers, fear Allah and make peace with justice, so that Allah’s mercy may be upon you.
➍ This verse connects all the Muslims of the world into one community. No matter where a Muslim is in the world, all other Muslims consider him a brother. Such a relationship is not found anywhere except in Islam. (Kilani)

Prevention of Fighting:
That is, when you set out to make peace, keep in mind that you are reconciling between two brothers. Therefore, perform this task with complete justice and fairness, and with fear of Allah, in such a way that neither party is deprived of their rights nor is anyone wronged. If you reconcile them with justice and fairness, then surely Allah will have mercy on you. And this mercy can be upon the group making peace individually, and collectively as well—that is, Allah will save your community from disintegration, its integrity will be restored, and its strength will remain intact. This verse connects Muslims all over the world into a universal brotherhood. No matter where a Muslim is in the world, all other Muslims consider him their brother. Such a bond of brotherhood is not found in any religion or faith other than Islam.
