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.
84-1. Here, hope is in the meaning of certainty. Because hope from a great personality is equivalent to certainty, and Allah Almighty is the greatest being in the universe, so hope attached to Him—why would it not be certain? That is why the commentators say that wherever the word عَسَیٰ is used for Allah in the Quran, it is in the sense of certainty. The word خطیئتی is in the singular form (خطیئۃ), but it is in the meaning of the plural خطایا. Although the Prophets (peace be upon them) are infallible, so the occurrence of any major sin from them is not possible, yet considering some of their actions as shortcomings, they will seek forgiveness in the court of Allah.
