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.

3. 1. This is a conjunction to "the unlettered" (امیین), meaning "بَعَثَ فِیْ اَ خِرِ یْنَ مِنْھُمْ" refers to the Persians and other non-Arab peoples who will believe in you ﷺ until the Day of Judgment. Some say that it refers to all Arabs and non-Arabs who will exist from the time of the Companions until the Day of Judgment. Thus, this includes Persians, Romans, Berbers, Sudanese, Turks, Mongols, Kurds, Chinese, and the people of India, etc. That is, the Prophethood of you ﷺ is for everyone, so all of them believed in you ﷺ. And after accepting Islam, they also became included among "minhum" (from them), that is, among the unlettered who were the first to accept Islam, because all Muslims are one Ummah. Due to this pronoun, some say that by "آخرین" (the later ones) are meant the Arabs who came later, because the antecedent of the pronoun "minhum" is "the unlettered" (امیین).
