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 11) ➊ {فَخَرَجَ عَلٰى قَوْمِهٖ مِنَ الْمِحْرَابِ: ’’ الْمِحْرَابِ ‘‘} The place of prayer, or the room in which he used to worship, or the mosque, because the mosques of the Children of Israel were called {’’ مَحَارِيْبُ ‘‘}, because these are places where war is waged against devils. (Tantawi)
➋ { فَاَوْحٰۤى اِلَيْهِمْ اَنْ سَبِّحُوْا بُكْرَةً وَّ عَشِيًّا:} That is, as a sign of pregnancy, the tongue was tied, so by gesture he instructed the people to glorify Allah in the early and late hours, because when the sign appeared to him, this was the command from Allah, as He said: «{ وَ اذْكُرْ رَّبَّكَ كَثِيْرًا وَّ سَبِّحْ بِالْعَشِيِّ وَ الْاِبْكَارِ }» [ آل عمران : ۴۱ ] "And remember your Lord much and glorify [Him] in the evening and the morning."
