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 153) {قَالُوْۤا اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِيْنَ: ’’ مَسْحُوْرِيْنَ‘‘} Those who have been affected by magic. {’’ الْمُسَحَّرِيْنَ‘‘} is from the verb form "taf‘īl," which denotes emphasis, so it has been translated as "you are indeed among those who have been greatly affected by magic." When those people could not raise any objection to the call of Salih (peace be upon him), they began to say, in order to fool the common people, that your mind has been overwhelmed due to powerful magic.
