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.
22. 1. This matter has been stated in another place in the Noble Quran as follows: (لَهُمْ قُلُوْبٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُوْنَ بِهَا ۡ وَلَهُمْ اَعْيُنٌ لَّا يُبْصِرُوْنَ بِهَا ۡ وَلَهُمْ اٰذَانٌ لَّا يَسْمَعُوْنَ بِهَا ۭاُولٰۗىِٕكَ كَالْاَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ اَضَلُّ اُولٰۗىِٕكَ هُمُ الْغٰفِلُوْنَ) 7. Al-A'raf:179) They have hearts, but they do not understand with them; they have eyes, but they do not see with them; and they have ears, but they do not hear with them. They are like cattle, rather they are even more astray. These people are heedless (of Allah).
