Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
(Ayah 74) {فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنْ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ الرَّوْعُ … :} The discussion of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) regarding the people of Lut was with the angels, as is explicitly mentioned in Surah Al-Ankabut (32). Here, Allah the Exalted has described it as if he was arguing with Him, because whatever the angels were doing, they were doing so only by Allah the Exalted’s command. {’’ يُجَادِلُنَا ‘‘} The imperfect tense is used for hikayat haal, i.e., to depict the scene of that moment.
