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 {وَ اَقْرَضُوا اللّٰهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا …:} Here is a question: How was the verb {’’ اَقْرَضُوا اللّٰهَ ‘‘} coordinated with the active participle {’’ الْمُصَّدِّقِيْنَ ‘‘}? One of the answers is that {’’ الْمُصَّدِّقِيْنَ ‘‘} is actually in the meaning of {’’اَلَّذِيْنَ تَصَدَّقُوْا‘‘}, so the coordination of {’’ اَقْرَضُوا ‘‘} is with {’’تَصَدَّقُوْا‘‘} which is implied in {’’مُتَصَدِّقِيْنَ‘‘}. {’’مُتَصَدِّقِيْنَ‘‘} has been brought in the form of an active participle to express continuity. For the explanation of this verse, see the commentary of verse (11) of this surah. However, here in the word {’’ الْمُصَّدِّقِيْنَ ‘‘}, the abundance of charity and its continuity is an addition to that.
