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 {يَوْمَ يَدْعُ الدَّاعِ اِلٰى شَيْءٍ نُّكُرٍ: ’’ يَوْمَ ‘‘} is in the accusative due to the omission of the preposition, meaning before it is the preposition {’’إِلٰي‘‘} which has been omitted, making it accusative. (Baghawi) Alusi said: {’’ هٰذَا قَوْلُ الْحَسَنِ ‘‘} that this is the statement of Hasan, meaning {’’ فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ إِلٰی يَوْمٍ يَدْعُ الدَّاعِ فِيْهِ إِلٰی شَيْءٍ نُّكُرٍ ‘‘} "So turn away from them until the Day when the caller will call to a terrible thing." Or {’’ يَوْمَ ‘‘} is accusative due to an omitted verb with {’’اُنْظُرْ‘‘}, meaning "Turn away from them and wait for the Day when..." The caller refers to Israfil (peace be upon him), whose blowing will cause all people to rise from their graves. {’’ يَدْعُ ‘‘} is originally {’’يَدْعُوْ‘‘}, and since the waw is not pronounced here, it is not written in the Uthmani Mushaf. {’’ الدَّاعِ ‘‘} is originally {’’الدَّاعِيُ‘‘}, the "ya" is omitted for lightness, and {’’ شَيْءٍ نُّكُرٍ ‘‘} refers to reckoning, {’’ نُكُرٍ ‘‘} meaning {’’ مُنْكِرٌ ‘‘}, something unpleasant, strange, a unique thing that has never been seen before.

[6] That is, leave them to their own state and do not waste your time in the hope of guiding such stubborn people. These people will not believe until they see the punishment.
[7] One meaning of "nukr" is "disagreeable," which has been adopted in the translation, and its other meaning is "unknown" or "strange thing," that is, when they are called for reckoning, this matter will be completely novel for them, something they had never imagined—that they would be resurrected in this way and presented for accountability.
