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 10) {وَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَيْسَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِّلْعَبِيْدِ :} For its exegesis, see Surah Al-Imran (182) and Al-Anfal (51). Some scholars have written another explanation that the pattern of {’’فَعَّالٌ‘‘} does not always indicate exaggeration, but sometimes it is only for attribution, that is, in the meaning of {’’ذُوْ شَيْءٍ‘‘} (possessor of something), like {’’سَمَّانٌ‘‘} (one with ghee), {’’ قَطَّانٌ ‘‘} (one with cotton), {’’حَدَّادٌ‘‘} (blacksmith), {تَمَّارٌ} (one with dates). The meaning is that here {’’ظَلَّامٌ‘‘} is not for exaggeration, but the intent is that Allah, the Exalted, is such a sublime being to whom even the attribution of injustice cannot be made.
