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.

(Ayah 147) {فَإِنْ كَذَّبُوكَ …… :} That is, if you now abandon the path of disobedience and adopt the straight path of truth, you will find your Lord’s embrace of mercy open for you. But if you persist in your current way, do not think that Allah’s punishment has been averted from you; when His punishment comes, nothing can save the criminals and the rebellious from it. With Allah, there may be delay, but there is no injustice. In the first part of the verse {’’ ذُوْ رَحْمَةٍ وَّاسِعَةٍ ‘‘} there is encouragement (instilling eagerness), and in the last part {’’ وَ لَا يُرَدُّ بَاْسُهٗ ‘‘} there is warning (instilling fear), and this is the special style of admonition in the Quran. (Ibn Kathir)
