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.

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 17) ➊ {اَمْ اَمِنْتُمْ مَّنْ فِي السَّمَآءِ اَنْ يُّرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا :} As happened with the people of Lot, He said: «اِنَّاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حَاصِبًا اِلَّاۤ اٰلَ لُوْطٍ نَجَّيْنٰهُمْ بِسَحَرٍ » [ القمر : ۳۴ ] "Indeed, We sent upon them a wind that rained stones, except for the family of Lot; We saved them before dawn."
{’’ نَذِيْرِ ‘‘} is a verbal noun; originally it was {’’ نَذِيْرِيْ‘‘}, meaning "my warning." The ya was omitted and the kasrah was left on the ra, otherwise it would have been in the nominative case.
