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.

(Ayah 29) {اِنِّيْۤ اُرِيْدُ اَنْ تَبُوْٓءَاۡ بِاِثْمِيْ وَ اِثْمِكَ ……:} My sin, meaning the sin that would be upon me if I were also intent on killing you, as mentioned earlier in the hadith, or that the burden of my sins would also be placed upon you, as in a hadith: "If he has any good deeds, then from them an amount equal to his wrongdoing will be taken, and if he has no good deeds, then from his companion's sins will be taken and placed upon him." [بخاری، المظالم، باب من کانت لہ مظلمۃ عند الرجل…… : ۲۴۴۹ ]

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

29. 1. The meaning of my sin is the sin of murder that would have been upon me if I had killed you. As it is mentioned in the hadith, both the killer and the one killed will go to Hell. The companions asked, it is understandable for the killer to go to Hell, but why will the one killed go to Hell? He ﷺ said that he too was eager to kill his companion (Sahih Bukhari and Muslim, Kitab al-Fitan).

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

"I wish that you would bear my sin as well as your own, and thus become one of the companions of the Fire. [61] That is the punishment of the wrongdoers."

[61] That is, the punishment for killing someone unjustly is not only that the murderer will be thrown into Hell as a recompense for this crime, but also that the sins of the murdered person will be added to his account. Thus, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq ؓ narrates that a person asked the Prophet ﷺ: "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! If I am forcibly brought into one of two armies or two ranks, and then someone's sword strikes my neck or someone's arrow kills me, what then?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "The killer will come to Allah carrying his own sins and yours, and he will be among the people of Hell (and you will have no sin)." [مسلم۔ کتاب الفتن۔ باب نزول الفتن کمواقع القطر]
Also, in several hadiths it is explicitly mentioned that on the Day of Judgment, the oppressor's good deeds will be given to the oppressed, and if he has no good deeds, the evil deeds of the oppressed will be placed upon him.
