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 15) {اِنَّا كَاشِفُوا الْعَذَابِ قَلِيْلًا … :} That is, by the supplication of your Messenger, We are the ones to remove the punishment from you for a short period, so that the reality of your promise to believe may become evident and the proof may be established against you, even though We know that when the punishment is removed, you will return to doing what you used to do before.
