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.

(Ayah63){ اَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّهٗ مَنْ يُّحَادِدِ اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ … :’’ يُحَادِدِ ‘‘} This is derived from {’’حَدٌّ‘‘}, which means "side." The verb form "mufa‘alah" generally indicates opposition, meaning Allah and His Messenger are on one side, and these people are on the other side in opposition. Then, their outcome is mentioned in the form of a question: do they not know? The purpose of the question is not to ask, but to state that this matter is so clear that everyone knows what the result is of opposing Allah and His Messenger.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan.

63. Do they not know that whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger, for him is the fire of Hell, wherein he will abide forever? And that is the great [77] disgrace.

How Are the Hypocrites Disgraced?

That is, one form of disgrace occurs when one of their plots and betrayals becomes known to everyone, due to which they have to fabricate more lies and swear oaths to assure the Muslims of their innocence. And this disgrace is very mild compared to the disgrace they will have to face on the Day of Resurrection before everyone. When all their mischiefs will be fully exposed and there will be no opportunity for excuses, then they will have to endure the eternal punishment of Hell.
