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.

They only denied the Oneness of Worship (Tawheed al-Uluhiyyah). That is, they did not worship only Allah, but associated others with Him in worship—not because anyone else shared in the creation or management of the heavens and the earth, but only due to this misconception that these were Allah’s righteous servants, Allah had given them authority, and through them, they would attain closeness to Allah.
