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.
1. This mentions the Battle of Banu Qurayzah, as previously mentioned, that this tribe broke their covenant and supported the polytheists and other Jews in the Battle of Ahzab. So, after returning from the Battle of Ahzab, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had just performed ghusl when Jibril ؑ came and said, "Have you put down your weapons? We angels have not put them down. Come, now it is time to deal with Banu Qurayzah. Allah has sent me to you for this purpose." So, He announced among the Muslims and even emphasized to them that the Asr prayer must be performed there. Their settlement was a few miles away from Madinah. They locked themselves in their forts, and the Muslims besieged them from outside, which lasted for about twenty-five days. Eventually, they accepted Sa'd bin Mu'adh as their (arbitrator), agreeing that whatever decision he made, they would accept it. So, he decided that the fighting men among them should be killed, their women and children taken captive, and their wealth distributed among the Muslims. The Prophet ﷺ, upon hearing this decision, said, "This is the same decision that Allah has made above the heavens." Accordingly, their warriors were executed, and Madinah was cleansed of their impure presence (Sahih Bukhari). See Sahih Bukhari, Chapter: Battle of Khandaq. They were brought down from their forts, and they had helped the disbelievers.
2. Some have interpreted this as referring to the land of Khaybar, because after this—after the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah in 6 AH—the Muslims conquered Khaybar. Some have said it refers to Makkah, and some have considered the lands of Persia and Rome as its meaning, and according to some, it refers to all those lands that Muslims will conquer until the Day of Judgment. (Fath al-Qadeer)
