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 Tirmidhi and others, there is a narration from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any of you recites Surah {’’ وَ التِّيْنِ وَ الزَّيْتُوْنِ ‘‘} and reaches {’’ اَلَيْسَ اللّٰهُ بِاَحْكَمِ الْحٰكِمِيْنَ ‘‘}, he should say: [ بَلٰی وَ أَنَا عَلٰی ذٰلِكَ مِنَ الشَّاهِدِيْنَ ] [ترمذي، تفسیر القرآن، باب و من سورۃ والتین : ۳۳۴۷ ] 'Why not! And I am among those who bear witness to it.'" But this narration is not Sahih, because Imam Tirmidhi (may Allah have mercy on him) said that an A'rabi narrated this from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), whose name is not even known.

[9] That is, even among the kings of this world, the law of justice is in effect: they punish criminals and reward those who do good and outstanding deeds. So, will this law not be in effect with Allah, Who is the King of all kings? Yes, it is true that since this world is the abode of action, the reckoning of these groups is not settled immediately in this world; rather, this reward and punishment is deferred to the Hereafter, which is the abode of recompense. However, if an individual or a nation exceeds all bounds in oppression, then Allah, in order to save others from their tyranny, subjects them to punishment and destruction even in this world, thereby saving others from them. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah ؓ says that whoever recites this Surah, when he reaches: ﴿اَلَيْسَ اللّٰهُ بِاَحْكَمِ الْحٰكِمِيْنَ﴾, then after that he should say: ﴿بَلٰي وَاَنَاعَلٰي ذٰلِكَ مِنَ الشَّاهِدِيْنَ﴾ [ترمذي۔ ابواب التفسير]
