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 one whom they persuaded to kill the she-camel, whose name is said to be Qidar bin Salif, they called him so that he would do his work.

29. 2. He took a sword and seized the she-camel and cut its legs and then slaughtered it. Some have interpreted فَتَعَاطَیٰ to mean فَجَسَرَ, thus he dared.
