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.
115. 1. That is, not all the People of the Book are as those whose condemnation was mentioned in the previous verses; rather, among them are some good people whom Allah has honored with the dignity of Islam, and in whom the qualities of faith and piety are found, رضی اللہ عنھم ورضو عنہ. The meaning of "قائمۃ" is those who obey the Shariah and follow the Noble Prophet ﷺ. "یسجدون" means they stand in prayer at night, that is, they perform Tahajjud and recite during the prayers. At this place, some have interpreted "امر بالمعروف" to mean that they command belief in the Prophet ﷺ and forbid opposing him ﷺ. This same group is also mentioned further ahead (وَاِنَّمِنْاَھْلِالْكِتٰبِلَمَنْيُّؤْمِنُباللّٰهِوَمَآاُنْزِلَاِلَيْكُمْوَمَآاُنْزِلَاِلَيْھِمْخٰشِعِيْنَلِلّٰهِ) 3:199
