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 26) {عٰلِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ …:} That is, knowing what will happen tomorrow and when the Day of Judgment will come is included in the unseen, and the only knower of the unseen is my Lord alone. Thus, in another place it is said: « اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عِنْدَهٗ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَ يُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ وَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الْاَرْحَامِ وَ مَا تَدْرِيْ نَفْسٌ مَّا ذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًا وَ مَا تَدْرِيْ نَفْسٌۢ بِاَيِّ اَرْضٍ تَمُوْتُ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِيْمٌ خَبِيْرٌ » [ لقمان : ۳۴ ] "Indeed, Allah alone has the knowledge of the Hour, and He sends down the rain, and He knows what is in the wombs. And no soul knows what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul knows in which land it will die. Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware."

2 6. 1. That is, the Prophet is informed of some matters of the unseen, which are either related to his duties of Prophethood or are proofs of the truthfulness of his Prophethood, and it is obvious that by Allah informing him, the Prophet does not become 'Alim al-Ghaib' (Knower of the unseen). Therefore, Allah alone is 'Alim al-Ghaib', as has also been explicitly stated here.
