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.
20. 1. مَصْفُوفَۃِ, joined together with one another, as if they are in a single row. Some have explained the meaning that the faces will be facing each other. Just as in the battlefield, armies face each other, this meaning has been expressed elsewhere in the Quran in these words: "علی سرر متقابلین" — they will be reclining on couches facing one another.
