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 context required that it be said: {’’إِنِّيْ أَنَا الرَّزَّاقُ ذُوالْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِيْنُ‘‘} (that I do not intend any sustenance from them, nor do I intend that they feed Me) because I am indeed the One who gives sustenance without limit, the Powerful, the Strong. It is also established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to recite it in this way, as Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me to recite it like this: [ إِنِّيْ أَنَا الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِيْنُ ] [ أبو داوٗد، الحروف والقرائات ، باب : ۳۹۹۳۔ ترمذي : ۲۹۴۰، و صححہ الألباني ] In the Imam's Mushaf, it is {’’ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ‘‘} and the Mutawatir recitation is this. By saying {’’ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ‘‘} instead of {’’إِنِّيْ أَنَا الرَّزَّاقُ‘‘}, the intention is to express all the attributes that come in the word {’’ اللّٰهَ ‘‘}, such as His majesty, His greatness, and His grandeur.
➌ The word { ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِيْنُ: ’’ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ ‘‘ ’’ ذُو ‘‘} is used for being the owner of something important, for example, {’’ذُوْ مَالٍ‘‘} and {’’ ذُوْ شَرَفٍ‘‘}, meaning the owner of all power. {’’ الْمَتِيْنُ ‘‘} means extremely strong, whom no one can turn away from His will nor can anyone oppose Him.

The Literal Meaning of ﴿متين﴾:
﴿متين﴾: The meaning of 'matn' (the root word) is that something is firm in itself and that firmness spreads within it, and "Habl Mateen" means a strong rope. The meaning of Allah Almighty being "Mateen" is that He is firm and unshakable, whom no being or force can move from His position or His will.
