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 رَاَيْتَهُمْ يَصُدُّوْنَ وَ هُمْ مُّسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ: ’’صَدَّ يَصُدُّ صَدًّا وَ صُدُوْدًا ‘‘ (ن)’’صَدًّا ‘‘} (transitive) means to prevent, and {’’ وَصُدُوْدًا ‘‘} (intransitive) means to turn away, to avert the face. That is, when encouraged to go to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and apologize, you will see them turning away arrogantly.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan.

[9] This was the general condition of all the hypocrites. However, their leader, Abdullah bin Ubayy, was their leader in this matter as well. Whenever any of their conspiracies, indecent acts, or secret matters were exposed, the Muslims would say to them: "Come, go and seek forgiveness from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He will forgive you himself and will also pray to Allah for your forgiveness." On one such occasion, Abdullah bin Ubayy replied to the Muslims: "You told me to believe, so I believed. You told me to perform prayers, so I performed them. You told me to pay the zakat on wealth, so I paid it. Now do you want me to prostrate to Muhammad ﷺ?" Hearing this arrogant and prideful response, what do you think—did he go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? Or did the Muslims say anything further to him? Allah has depicted this very arrogant state of his in this verse.
