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.

12-1. The meaning of ابلاس is to be unable to present any argument in support of one's position and to stand astonished and silent. This is also expressed in terms of despair. In this sense, مبلس will be one who, having lost hope, stands silently and cannot think of any argument. This will be the state of the disbelievers and polytheists on the Day of Resurrection, that is, after the punishment, they will be hopeless of any news and unable to present any argument or proof. By مجرموں are meant the disbelievers and polytheists, as is clear in the next verse.
