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.
61. 1. These verses were revealed about those people who, instead of taking their case to the court, wanted to take it to the leaders of the Jews or the leaders of the Quraysh. However, its ruling is general; it includes all those who turn away from the Book and the Sunnah and, leaving both of them, go to someone else for their judgments. Otherwise, the condition of the Muslims is such that (اِنَّمَا كَانَ قَوْلَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ اِذَا دُعُوْٓا اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ اَنْ يَّقُوْلُوْا سَمِعْنَا وَاَطَعْنَا) 24:51 when they are called to Allah and His Messenger ﷺ so that He may judge between them, they say, "We hear and we obey." About such people, Allah Almighty further said (وَ اوْلَئِکَ ھُمُ المُفْلِحُوْنَ) 24:51 these are the ones who are successful.
