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 27){ اِنَّ الْمُبَذِّرِيْنَ۠ كَانُوْۤااِخْوَانَ الشَّيٰطِيْنِ … :} The extravagant have always been declared as brothers of the devils, that is, companions of the devils and like them, and the reason stated is that the devil always shows ingratitude for the blessings and abilities granted by Allah by spending them in the wrong place. Similarly, the person who spends the wealth given by the Owner in disobedience to the Owner is in the same condition. The meaning of "always" in the translation is evident from {’’ كَانُوْۤا‘‘} and {’’ كَانَ ‘‘}. The commentator Tantawi writes: {’’ وَكَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ فِيْ كُلِّ وَقْتٍ وَفِيْ كُلِّ حَالٍ جَحُوْدًا لِنِعَمِ رَبِّهٖ لَا يَشْكُرُهُ عَلَيْهَا ‘‘ }
