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 101) {وَ لَا صَدِيْقٍ حَمِيْمٍ : ’’ صَدِيْقٍ ‘‘} who is true in friendship and {’’ حَمِيْمٍ ‘‘} who feels warmth because of a friend, that is, a close friend. {’’ حَمِيْمٍ ‘‘} also means a relative. That is, the disbelievers will have neither a close friend nor a relative on the Day of Resurrection; all will become enemies of one another, whereas the friends of the believers will be the Prophets, angels, and all the believers, as He said: «{ اَلْاَخِلَّآءُ يَوْمَىِٕذٍۭ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ اِلَّا الْمُتَّقِيْنَ [ الزخرف : ۶۷ ] "All close friends that Day will be enemies to each other except for the righteous."
