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 89) ➊ {مَنْ جَآءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهٗ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهَا:} By virtue is meant every good deed. Some commentators have taken this to mean {’’ لاَ اِلٰهَ إِلاَّ اللّٰهُ ‘‘}, some have taken it to mean sincerity, and some have taken it to mean the fulfillment of obligations, but it is better to keep it general, because there is no reason for specification. (Shawkani) By {’’ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهَا ‘‘} is meant from ten times up to seven hundred times, and in fact, due to greater sincerity and excellence in performance, it can even be without measure.
➋ The tanween on { وَ هُمْ مِّنْ فَزَعٍ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ اٰمِنُوْنَ: ’’ فَزَعٍ ‘‘} is for magnification, meaning that on that Day they will be safe from the great terror, as He said: «{ لَا يَحْزُنُهُمُ الْفَزَعُ الْاَكْبَرُ }» [ الأنبیاء : ۱۰۳ ] "The greatest terror will not grieve them." If there is a lesser degree of terror, it does not contradict this verse, as has been mentioned in verse (87).
