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 76) {وَ نَجَّيْنٰهُ وَ اَهْلَهٗ … : ’’ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيْمِ ‘‘} (the great calamity) refers to deliverance from that tremendous flood, as well as from the constant distress that afflicted them for hundreds of years in the form of their people's denial and persecution.
