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 108) {قَالَ اخْسَـُٔوْا فِيْهَا …:’’ خَسَأَ يَخْسَأُ} (mana'a) {أَيْ ذَلَّ۔‘‘ ’’ اخْسَـُٔوْا ‘‘} Remain humiliated, be driven away far! This word is used to shoo away dogs and the like, and then it began to be used for anyone who is declared despicable and humiliated and told to get away. That is, Allah will drive them away saying, "Remain humiliated and far away in this Hell, and do not speak to Me." In some narrations, it is mentioned that after this their tongues will be sealed and this will be their last speech, but in these very verses ahead, their conversation with Allah is mentioned: « قٰلَ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ عَدَدَ سِنِيْنَ (112) قَالُوْا لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا اَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ فَسْـَٔلِ الْعَآدِّيْنَ » [ المؤمنون : ۱۱۲، ۱۱۳ ] "He will say: 'How many years did you remain on earth in number of years?' They will say: 'We remained a day or part of a day, so ask those who count.'" From this it is clear that no such narration is Sahih. However, from the verse it is established that their request will be rejected with contempt.
