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.
37. 1. That is, this is the Hell that warns, or by "warner" is meant the Noble Prophet ﷺ, or the Quran itself, in terms of the warnings and promises it describes, is a warner for mankind. And one should advance in faith and obedience or withdraw from it; the meaning is that the warning is for everyone, whether he believes or disbelieves.
