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 15) ➊ { وَ سَلٰمٌ عَلَيْهِ …:} That is, at these three times, he will remain safe from every distress. Shah Abdul Qadir (may Allah have mercy on him) writes: "When Allah sends peace upon a servant, it means that there is no punishment upon him." (Mawaddih) Sufyan bin Uyaynah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: {’’ أَوْحَشُ مَا يَكُوْنُ الْخَلْقُ فِيْ ثَلَاثَةِ مَوَاطِنَ يَوْمَ يُوْلَدُ فَيَرَي نَفْسَهٗ خَارِجًا مِمَّا كَانَ فِيْهِ وَيَوْمَ يَمُوْتُ فَيَرَي قَوْمًا لَمْ يَكُنْ عَايَنَهُمْ وَيَوْمَ يُبْعَثُ فَيَرَي نَفْسَهٗ فِيْ مَحْشَرٍ عَظِيْمٍ قَالَ فَأَكْرَمَ اللّٰهُ فِيْهَا يَحْيَي بْنَ زَكَرِيًّا فَخَصَّهُ بِالسَّلاَمِ عَلَيْهِ ‘‘} [ طبري : ۲۳۷۵۱، بسند صحیح ] "A person is most fearful at three occasions: the day he is born and sees himself coming out from the place where he was, the day he dies and sees people whom he has never seen before, and the day he is resurrected and sees himself in a great gathering (assembly). Allah Almighty honored Yahya bin Zakariya (peace be upon them) at these three times and granted him the special blessing of being kept safe."
➋ Some of the noble qualities of Yahya (peace be upon him) have already been mentioned earlier in Surah Aal-e-Imran (39).
