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.
11. 1. Some scholars, due to this very verse, consider it recommended to recite Surah Nuh in the prayer of Istisqa (prayer for rain). It is narrated that once, when Umar climbed the pulpit for the prayer of Istisqa, he recited only the verses of Istighfar (among which was this verse as well) and then descended from the pulpit. And he said that I have sought rain through those means of rain which are in the heavens, from which rain descends upon the earth (Ibn Kathir).
