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 13) {وَ اِذَاۤ اُلْقُوْا مِنْهَا مَكَانًا ضَيِّقًا …:’’ مُقَرَّنِيْنَ ‘‘ ’’قَرَنَ الثَّوْرَيْنِ‘‘} (ض) He joined together two oxen in one yoke. {’’ قَرَنَ الْبَعِيْرَيْنِ‘‘} He tied together two camels with one rope. {’’ مُقَرَّنِيْنَ ‘‘} It is a passive participle from the Bab Taf'il, expressing intensity in binding. From this, two meanings are derived: one, that their hands, feet, and necks will be bound with chains; and two, that many criminals of the same kind will be together in one place. (See Naml: 83; Ha Mim Sajdah: 19) That is, in Hell, every criminal will have such a confined space that he will not even be able to move, and in addition, many criminals of the same kind will be together. (See Ibrahim: 49; Humazah: 8, 9) The flames of Hell will surround them from all sides, and at that time, overwhelmed by severe distress, they will call for death. Shah Abdul Qadir (may Allah have mercy on him) writes: "That is, if they could die once, they would be freed; their condition will be worse than dying a thousand times in a day." (Mawdhih)
