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 38){ وَ اٰخَرِيْنَ مُقَرَّنِيْنَ فِي الْاَصْفَادِ: ’’ الْاَصْفَادِ ‘‘ ’’صَفَدٌ‘‘} is the plural of 'Safadun' (with the fathah on Saad and Faa), which is a chain or collar with which someone is bound. That is, those among them who act rebelliously or mischievously were chained together and imprisoned. For a detailed explanation of these four verses, see the exegesis of Surah Al-Anbiya (81, 82), Saba (12, 13), and Surah An-Naml (15 to 44).
