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 94) {فَاَقْبَلُوْۤا اِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّوْنَ : ’’ زَفَّ يَزِفُّ زَفًّا وَ زُفُوْفًا وَ زَفِيْفًا ‘‘} (ض) To go quickly, to run. That is, seeing the state of the idols, the people had no difficulty in knowing who had done this to them, because Ibrahim (peace be upon him) had already made them aware of his intention. Therefore, they all came running to him and brought him to the assembly after capturing him. For details, see Surah Al-Anbiya (59 to 61).
