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.
24. 1. When the Noble Prophet ﷺ and the Companions were at Hudaybiyyah, the disbelievers sent 80 men, armed, with the intention that if they got the chance, they would deceitfully act against the Prophet ﷺ and the Companions. Thus, this armed group came to Hudaybiyyah from the direction of Mount Tagheem, which the Muslims also became aware of, and they bravely captured all the men and presented them before the Messenger. Their crime was severe, and whatever punishment was given to them would have been justified. But the danger in this was that war would then become inevitable, whereas the Prophet ﷺ at that time preferred peace over war because it was in the interest of the Muslims. Therefore, the Prophet ﷺ forgave all of them and set them free (justified Muslim).
