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.

145. 1. It is as if the Torah was given in the form of tablets, in which there was a complete detail of religious rulings, commands and prohibitions, encouragement and warning for them.

145. 2. That is, do not always be in search of concessions, as is the case with those who seek ease.

145. 3. By "place (abode)" is meant the ultimate end, which is destruction, or it means that I will grant you rulership over the land of the transgressors, and by this is meant the land of Shaam, over which at that time the Amalekites ruled, who were disobedient to Allah. (Ibn Kathir)
