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 { فَهُمْ فِيْۤ اَمْرٍ مَّرِيْجٍ: ’’مَرَجَ الْأَمْرُ، أَيْ اِضْطَرَبَ وَالْتَبَسَ وَ فَسَدَ‘‘ ’’ اَمْرٍ مَّرِيْجٍ ‘‘} A confused matter. That is, after rejecting without thinking or understanding, now they themselves do not comprehend what justification they should present for denying the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and the Qur'an. Therefore, sometimes they say one thing and sometimes another. They are not settled on any one point and are in severe mental confusion. Sometimes they call the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) a poet, sometimes a soothsayer, sometimes insane (mad), and sometimes a magician. Similarly, sometimes they say the Qur'an is a composition authored by the Prophet (peace be upon him), sometimes they say that some non-Arab teaches him, and sometimes they call it magic. In short, on every occasion, they invent something or the other.

The Confusion of the Disbelievers Regarding the First Objection:
All the disbelievers of Makkah were united in denying your ﷺ prophethood and in claiming that the Quran was not revealed from Allah. But now they could not figure out what to call the Prophet of Islam and the Quran. Because neither was the Prophet of Islam an ordinary man, nor was the Quran an ordinary or common book, and all the disbelievers could see this. Sometimes they would say that this Prophet is a poet and this book is poetry; sometimes they would say this Prophet is a soothsayer and this book is soothsaying; sometimes they would say this Prophet is a magician and this book is magic; sometimes they would say that this Quran is just old stories which this Prophet has himself composed and presented before us. These contradictory and differing statements themselves are proof that these people have become completely entangled in their own stance.
