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).

➋ { وَ اَنَّهٗ هُوَ اَغْنٰى وَ اَقْنٰى … : ’’ اَقْنٰى ‘‘ ’’قِنْيَةٌ‘‘} is from a word that means "treasure." That is, He alone granted wealth for gathering and making treasures. The verse: « وَ اَنَّهٗ هُوَ اَضْحَكَ وَ اَبْكٰى » and this verse: « وَ اَنَّهٗ هُوَ اَغْنٰى وَ اَقْنٰى»— in both, after {’’ اَنَّهٗ ‘‘}, the pronoun {’’ هُوَ ‘‘} creates exclusivity, meaning He alone is the One Who made to laugh and made to cry...
➌ { وَ اَنَّهٗ هُوَ رَبُّ الشِّعْرٰى:} Despite being the Lord of everything, the specific mention of being the Lord of this star is because some Arabs, such as the Khuza'ah tribe and others, used to worship it. Therefore, it is said that the star you worship, your destinies are not in its control; it does not even own its own destiny, rather its Lord is also Allah Almighty.
