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.

By (Ayah 13) { مُتَّكِـِٕيْنَ فِيْهَا عَلَى الْاَرَآىِٕكِ … : ’’ شَمْسًا ‘‘} is meant intense sunlight and heat, and by {’’ زَمْهَرِيْرًا ‘‘} is meant severe cold, that is, the climate of Paradise will be extremely pleasant and moderate; there will be neither painful heat nor cold. In contrast, in Hell there will be the torment of intense heat, that is, fire, as well as severe cold (zamharir), and in fact, the origin of intense heat and intense cold in this world is also from Hell itself. Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: [ وَاشْتَكَتِ النَّارُ إِلٰی رَبِّهَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَبِّ! أَكَلَ بَعْضِيْ بَعْضًا فَأَذِنَ لَهَا بِنَفَسَيْنِ، نَفَسٍ فِي الشِّتَاءِ، وَنَفَسٍ فِي الصَّيْفِ، فَهُوَ أَشَدُّ مَا تَجِدُوْنَ مِنَ الْحَرِّ، وَ أَشَدُّ مَا تَجِدُوْنَ مِنَ الزَّمْهَرِيْرِ ] [ بخاري، مواقیت الصلاۃ، باب الإبراد بالظھر في شدۃ الحر : ۵۳۷ ] "The Fire complained to its Lord and said: 'O my Lord! Some parts of mine have consumed the others.' So Allah allowed it two breaths, one in the summer and one in the winter. That is what you feel as the extreme heat and what you feel as the extreme zamharir (cold)."

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

13. 1. The meaning is that there will always be only one season there, and that is the season of spring—neither intense heat nor severe cold.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

13. Reclining on couches in Paradise, they will see neither the scorching heat nor the bitter cold [16].

[16] "Shams" refers to the heat and intensity of the sun, which feels unpleasant to the body. "Zamhareer" refers to severe cold, and also to a region where there is biting cold. That is, the climate of Paradise will be free from both these extremes of heat and cold, and will be of a moderate kind, like the spring season we have here.
