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.
35-1 That is, the traces of stones, which were rained upon them, the black foul-smelling water, and the overturned towns—all these are signs of lesson, but for whom? For the people of understanding.
35-2 Because only they reflect on matters, analyze causes and factors, and observe results and effects. But what concern do those who are devoid of intellect and consciousness have with these things? They are like animals being led to the slaughterhouse, but they are not even aware of it. In this, there is also an allusion to the polytheists of Makkah, that they too are displaying denial, which is the habit of people lacking intellect and wisdom.
