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 8){وَ الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ لِاَمٰنٰتِهِمْ وَ عَهْدِهِمْ رٰعُوْنَ :} Chastity is a very great trust from Allah Almighty; after mentioning it, the protection of general trusts is mentioned. A promise is also a trust; due to its importance, it is mentioned separately. {’’ رٰعُوْنَ ‘‘ ’’رَعٰي يَرْعٰي‘‘} (F) is an active participle. The use of the active participle instead of the present tense verb means that they always protect their trusts and promises; this is their habit. Not like the hypocrites about whom the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: [ آيَةُ الْمُنَافِقِ ثَلَاثٌ إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَ إِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ وَ إِذَا اؤْتُمِنَ خَانَ ] [ بخاري، الإیمان، باب علامات المنافق : ۳۳ ] "There are three signs of a hypocrite: when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when something is entrusted to him, he betrays the trust."
