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.
In this verse and the next three verses, a few qualities of those special servants of Allah are mentioned. One quality is that they fulfill their vows, meaning that when they obligate upon themselves something that is not obligatory for the pleasure of Allah, they fulfill it; then how diligently must they act upon those deeds that are already obligatory from Allah. For the rulings of vows, see the tafsir of Surah Al-Baqarah (270) and Surah Al-Hajj (29). The reason for these people fulfilling their vows is that they fear the Day of Judgment, whose calamity will be widespread everywhere. This refutes those Sufis who say that worship should not be done out of desire for Paradise or fear of Hell.

Some Attributes of the People of Paradise:
Now, a few attributes of these successful righteous people are being mentioned. The first attribute is that they fulfill their vows. A vow is a promise that a person makes obligatory upon himself. It is obvious that a person who is so careful to fulfill a promise he has made obligatory upon himself will, all the more, be careful to fulfill the promise made to Allah.
[9] ﴿مُسْتَطِيْرٌ﴾ (root ط ی ر) means a calamity that is spread all around, a hardship and affliction that affects the entire atmosphere. When the sun will be brought very close to the earth and, due to the heat and anxiety, people will be in a terrible state. Only those will be safe from the evil of that day who, fearing the evil of that day beforehand, lived as obedient servants of Allah.
