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.
41. 1. Ṣiddīq is the intensive form of ṣidq (truthfulness). A very truthful person, that is, one whose words and actions are in harmony and whose hallmark is uprightness. This rank of ṣiddīqiyyah is the highest after prophethood. Every prophet and messenger is also the most truthful and upright person of his time, so he is also a ṣiddīq. However, not every ṣiddīq is a prophet. In the Noble Qur’an, Maryam is called ṣiddīqah, which means that she held a very high rank in piety, purity, and uprightness, although she was not a prophetess. There are also ṣiddīqīn in the Ummah of Muhammad, and at the forefront among them is Abū Bakr aṣ-Ṣiddīq (may Allah be pleased with him), who, after the prophets, is acknowledged as the best of mankind in the Ummah. May Allah be pleased with him.
