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.
52. 1. Hazrat Musa (علیہ السلام) replied, "Neither you nor I have knowledge of that. However, their knowledge is with my Lord, which is present with Him in the Book. He will give reward and punishment according to it. Then His knowledge encompasses everything in such a way that nothing, big or small, can be hidden from His sight, nor can He ever forget. Whereas both these deficiencies exist in the knowledge of the creation. Firstly, their knowledge does not encompass everything, rather it is incomplete. Secondly, after knowing, they can also forget. My Lord is free from both these deficiencies." Further, more attributes of the Lord are being mentioned.
