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 Some commentators have taken the person with these bad traits mentioned in these six verses (10 to 15) to refer to a specific individual, but the words of the verse are general: «وَ لَا تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلَّافٍ مَّهِيْنٍ » that “do not obey any person with such traits,” so every person with these traits is included in the meaning of the verse. In the previous verses, it was forbidden to obey the deniers, and now those same deniers are mentioned with these traits that generally develop in a person as a result of denying the religion. All these are qualities of disbelief; a person should strive that none of these traits develop within him.

A Person Who Swears Excessively Is Disgraced:
In this verse, Allah Almighty has stated a well-established principle: that a person who swears oaths at every turn, or feels the need to take oaths, clearly indicates that he himself does not trust his own words, nor do others trust him. He is disgraced in his own eyes and in the eyes of others as well. Therefore, there is no benefit in accepting the word of such a person.
