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 160){ اِلَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الْمُخْلَصِيْنَ :} There are two interpretations of this, and both can be intended simultaneously. One is that Allah’s sincere servants do not say such things; this is the habit of the polytheists. The second is that the jinn know that they will be brought forth even if they do not wish, but Allah’s chosen servants, whether they are jinn or humans, will remain free from this capture, because Allah Almighty has prepared Paradise for them. They will be summoned with great honor.
