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 50) {فَلَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ۠ تَوْصِيَةً … : ’’ تَوْصِيَةً ‘‘ ’’وَصّٰي يُوَصِّيْ‘‘} is the verbal noun (masdar) of the form taf‘īl, meaning to make a will. That is, after this cry, they will not be given enough respite to make any will, nor will those who are outside be able to return to their homes; rather, whoever is wherever will be seized right there.
