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 61) {قَالُوْا رَبَّنَا مَنْ قَدَّمَ لَنَا هٰذَا …:} When their hearts will not be cooled by this, they will pray to Allah, "O our Lord! Whoever brought this punishment upon us, double the punishment for him in the Fire—one for being astray himself and another for leading us astray," as Allah has said: « وَ قَالَتْ اُوْلٰىهُمْ لِاُخْرٰىهُمْ فَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ فَضْلٍ فَذُوْقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْسِبُوْنَ » [ الأعراف : ۳۸ ] "So the later group among them will say about the former group, 'Our Lord! These are the ones who led us astray, so give them a double punishment of the Fire.' He will say, 'For all is double, but you do not know.'" For a similar verse, see Surah Al-Ahzab (67, 68).
