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){ اِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَ رَسُوْلِهٖ …: ’’ لَمْ يَرْتَابُوْا ‘‘ ’’رَيْبٌ‘‘} is from the form of ifti‘āl. After negating the claim of faith by the Bedouins, Allah Almighty has stated one internal and one external condition of faith. Thus, He said that the true believers are only those who believed, then did not fall into doubt, and they proved their faith and conviction by performing jihad with their wealth and lives in the way of Allah. These are the people who are truthful in their claim of faith. As for those who claim faith but when the opportunity for jihad comes, they try to save themselves from it, they are liars in their claim.
