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 34) {وَ جَعَلْنَا فِيْهَا جَنّٰتٍ مِّنْ نَّخِيْلٍ … : ’’ نَخِيْلٍ ‘‘ ’’نَخْلٌ‘‘} is the plural of, just as {’’عَبْدٌ‘‘} is the plural of {’’عَبِيْدٌ‘‘}. {’’ اَعْنَابٍ ‘‘ ’’عِنَبٌ‘‘} is the plural of, and {’’ الْعُيُوْنِ ‘‘ ’’عَيْنٌ‘‘} is the plural of, meaning wells and springs from which the land is irrigated. That is, by reviving the dead land, We not only grow grain for their food, but also abundantly produce various kinds of fruits for their enjoyment and pleasure. Here, only two fruits are mentioned because they are highly beneficial and also favored by the Arabs, and their production is also greater in Arabia. Then, grain is mentioned first because its production is higher and its importance as food is well established. Until a person fills his stomach with bread or rice, etc., his nutritional needs are not fulfilled by fruits alone. (Ahsan-ul-Bayan)
