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.
62-1. This is the answer to the objection of the polytheists which they used to raise against the Muslims, saying that if you are upon the truth, then why are you poor and weak? Allah said that the expansion and restriction of sustenance is in Allah's control; He gives less or more to whomever He wills according to His wisdom and will. This is not related to His pleasure or anger.
62-2. He alone knows for whom abundant sustenance is better and for whom it is not.
