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.
9. 1 By "سیأت" here are meant punishments, or the recompense is omitted, i.e., saving them from the punishments of the Hereafter or from the recompense of evil deeds.
9. 2 That is, to be saved from the torment of the Hereafter and to enter Paradise is the greatest success, because there is no success like it and no salvation equal to it. In these verses, there are two great glad tidings for the believers: first, that the angels make supplication for them in their absence, which has great virtue mentioned in the hadith; second, that the families of the believers will be gathered together in Paradise. جعلنا اللہ من الذین یلحقھم اللہ بابائھم الصالحین.
