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.
36. 1. That is, if Satan tries to turn you away from the work of Shariah or creates obstacles in repelling evil in the best manner, then seek refuge with Allah from his evil.
36. 2. And the One who is such—that is, the One who hears everyone and knows everything—only He can grant refuge to those who seek it. After this, some of those signs are being mentioned again which indicate Allah’s Oneness, His perfect power, and His authority over all things.
