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.
29. 1. That is, the people of Pharaoh did not have any righteous deeds that would ascend to the heavens, and upon their cessation, the heavens would weep; nor did they worship Allah on earth such that, upon being deprived of it, the earth would weep. The meaning is that there was no one in the heavens or the earth to weep over their destruction. (Fath al-Qadeer)
