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.
67-1 Spending in disobedience to Allah is extravagance, and spending in obedience to Allah is stinginess, and spending according to the commands and obedience of Allah is moderation (Fath al-Qadeer). Similarly, exceeding the limits of moderation in obligatory expenditures and permissible matters can also fall under extravagance, therefore caution and moderation are extremely necessary there as well.
