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.
72. 1. A torment of a violent wind came upon this nation, which continued for seven nights and eight days without interruption, destroying everything and leaving nothing intact. And these were the people of 'Ad, who were very proud of their strength; their corpses could be seen lying on the ground like cut-off trunks of palm trees. (See Surah Al-Haqqah 6-8, Surah Hud 53-56, Surah Al-Ahqaf 42-25 verses)
