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.

(Ayah 112,111) {قَالُوْا اَرْجِهْ وَ اَخَاهُ … : ’’ اَرْجِهْ ‘‘} is a second-person imperative verb derived from {’’أَرْجَأَ يُرْجِئُ إِرْجَاءً‘‘}, which was originally {’’ اَرْجِئْهُ ‘‘}, meaning {’’اَخِّرْهُ‘‘}, that is, no decision should be made about them yet and their matter should be postponed for a few days, during which all expert magicians from across the country should be gathered. Thus, Pharaoh did exactly this (see Ash-Shu'ara: 38) and, after requesting from Musa (peace be upon him), fixed the day of confrontation as the Day of Festival and the time as forenoon. See Surah Ta-Ha (59). Here, all of this is omitted.
