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 57){وَ رَفَعْنٰهُ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا: } In the hadith of Mi'raj, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) met him on the fourth heaven. Hafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) said that there is no doubt about the {’’ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا ‘‘} (very high status) of this position. Some people have said that he was raised alive to the heaven, but this is not proven from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) with any strong chain, rather it is only the statement of Ka'b who narrates Isra'ili traditions.
