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.
80. 1. Some say that this was revealed on the occasion of migration when the issue of entering Madinah and leaving Makkah was at hand; some say its meaning is to grant me death with truthfulness and to raise me on the Day of Resurrection with truthfulness. Some say it means to enter me truthfully into the grave and when I am raised from the grave on the Day of Resurrection, to bring me out truthfully from the grave, etc. Imam Shawkani states that since this is a supplication, all these matters are included in its generality.
