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 216) {فَاِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ …:} That is, if they disobey you, whether they are your closest relatives or anyone else, then instead of dealing with them with the gentleness reserved for believers, separate yourself from them and say that I am free from the disobedience you are committing. Perhaps your declaration of disassociation may bring them back, or at the very least, you will be free from blame before Allah.
