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.
15. 1. That is, from opposing and being hostile to the Prophet ﷺ and preventing you ﷺ from praying; if he does not desist from this, then I will put my foot on his neck. (That is, I will trample him and thus humiliate him.) When this reached the Prophet ﷺ, he ﷺ said: If he had done so, the angels would have seized him (Sahih Bukhari).
