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 141 to 145) ➊ {كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُوْدُ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ …:} The story of Thamud and Salih (peace be upon them) has already been mentioned earlier in Surah Al-A'raf (73 to 79), Hud (61 to 68), Al-Hijr (80 to 84), and Bani Isra'il (59). See also Surah An-Naml (45 to 53), Adh-Dhariyat (43 to 45), Al-Qamar (23 to 31), Al-Fajr (9), and Ash-Shams (11).
➋ { اِنِّيْ لَكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ اَمِيْنٌ:} The people of Salih (peace be upon him) also acknowledged his trustworthiness, honesty, and extraordinary capability. (See Hud: 62) The fact that his people called him {’’ اِنَّمَا اَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِيْنَ ‘‘} also proves that before the proclamation of prophethood, he was considered very wise and intelligent by them, and the change in his condition, in their view, was the result of magic.
