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 139) {اِنَّ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ مُتَبَّرٌ مَّا هُمْ فِيْهِ …:} In response to their demand, Musa (peace be upon him) said four things. First, that you are adopting ignorance, that is, foolishness and stubbornness, as mentioned in the previous verse. Second, that the work these people are engaged in at this time will be destroyed, and whatever they have done before is also false. Demanding such a thing leads to misguidance and destruction in this world and punishment in the Hereafter.

139. That which these people are engaged in (idol worship) is bound [135] to be destroyed, and all that they are doing is utterly false.

[135] That is, my very mission is to destroy such idols and to eliminate such worshippers of falsehood, and here you are asking me to make an idol for you. Allah has not granted you superiority so that you would prostrate before something inferior to yourselves and made by your own hands, so do not utter such ignorant words.
