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, {’’ رَسُوْلٍ ‘‘} refers to Jibreel (peace be upon him), because the polytheists of Makkah sometimes said: « اِنَّمَا يُعَلِّمُهٗ بَشَرٌ » [ النحل : ۱۰۳ ] "A human teaches him." Sometimes they said: « اَفْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا اَمْ بِهٖ جِنَّةٌ » [ سبا : ۸ ] "Has he fabricated a lie against Allah or is he mad?" So Allah Almighty revealed these verses to refute the statements of these polytheists and declared that neither is the Messenger of Allah insane or mad, nor has he fabricated this Qur'an himself, nor has any human taught him this Qur'an. This is not a speech like that which the devils, after eavesdropping on the heavens, convey to the soothsayers, but rather, as a message from Allah, a possessor of strength, trustworthy, and faithful angel has delivered this Qur'an to the Prophet of Allah. (Ahsan al-Tafasir)

The Attributes of Jibreel:
Allah Almighty has sworn by or presented as testimony these three things regarding two matters. The first of these is that this Quran is neither the word of a soothsayer nor a poet, nor is it authored by you; rather, it is the word of a noble messenger. This messenger is Jibreel, who is sent by Allah and is presenting His word, but since it is being conveyed through the tongue of Jibreel, the statement is attributed to him. This Jibreel is very powerful and mighty. In Surah An-Najm, the words ﴿شديد القوي﴾ and ﴿ذو مرة﴾ have been used for Jibreel. This angel is highly honored in the sight of Allah. He is an officer whom all the angels obey. In addition, he is also trustworthy. Whatever message Allah sends him with, he conveys it exactly to the heart of the human messenger. He does not make any addition or omission in it.
