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.
126. 1. That is, in your view, this is our fault. Because of which you have become angry with us and are determined to punish us. Whereas, in reality, this is not a fault at all; rather, it is a virtue—a very great virtue—that when the truth became clear to us, we rejected all worldly interests in its favor and accepted the truth. Then they turned their attention away from Pharaoh and directed it towards Allah, raising their hands in supplication before Him.
126. 2. So that we may endure the punishment of this enemy of Yours, and remain steadfast upon truth and faith.
126. 3. May this worldly trial not cause us to deviate from faith, nor may we fall into any other tribulation.
