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.
2 6. 1. That is, the Prophet is informed of some matters of the unseen, which are either related to his duties of Prophethood or are proofs of the truthfulness of his Prophethood, and it is obvious that by Allah informing him, the Prophet does not become 'Alim al-Ghaib' (Knower of the unseen). Therefore, Allah alone is 'Alim al-Ghaib', as has also been explicitly stated here.
