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 اللّٰهُ قَدِيْرٌ:} Apparently, it did not seem possible that those who expelled the Muslims from Makkah, did not let them live in peace even in Madinah, waged the battles of Badr, Uhud, Khandaq, and other conflicts, would become friends again. Therefore, Allah Almighty said that Allah is capable of everything; for Him, turning hearts is not difficult. Thus, only a short time after the revelation of these verses, Makkah was conquered, the Quraysh and other tribes began entering Islam in droves, and except for those disbelievers who were killed, eventually all became Muslims, so much so that no polytheist remained in the Arabian Peninsula. Abu Sufyan and other Qurayshi leaders who had fought against the Muslims now began to fight for the supremacy of Islam, ready to sacrifice their lives.
➌ {وَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ:} That is, the enmity the polytheists have held against the believers until now, Allah Almighty, due to His forgiveness and mercy, will overlook it and grant them the ability to believe and become friends of the Muslims.

The Glad Tidings of the Faith of the Disbelievers of Makkah Before the Conquest of Makkah:
In this verse, the Muslims were given the glad tidings of the conquest of Makkah even before it happened. And at the beginning, the word ﴿عسيٰ﴾ has been used merely in a royal style of expression. Just as a king might say to his servant, "It may be that you will be promoted," the meaning is actually a definite announcement. Allah Almighty not only gave the news of the conquest of Makkah, but also informed that the disbelievers of Makkah, who are today your staunch enemies, will accept Islam and you will then become united in love and harmony.
[17] That is, Allah has the power to turn the course of events in such a way that Makkah will be conquered, there will be no bloodshed, and the majority of the disbelievers will become Muslims and join you. As for the mistake you made in this matter, Allah, out of His grace, is also Forgiving of this mistake and likewise of your other errors and slips.
