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.
21. 1. That is, the ability to do good deeds; the people of faith do not seek worldly gains even in this world, rather they seek only the ability to do good. The Prophet ﷺ used to recite this frequently. During Tawaf, instead of reciting different self-made supplications for each round, this supplication should be recited at the time of Tawaf. (رَبَّنَآ اٰتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً) 2:21. It is a Sunnah practice to recite this between Rukn Yamani and Hajar Aswad.
