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 10) ➊ { وَ النَّخْلَ بٰسِقٰتٍ: ’’ النَّخْلَ ‘‘} is a generic term that is used for date palm trees, whether they are many or just one. If there is only one date palm tree, it is called {’’نَخْلَةٌ‘‘}, as He said: «فَاَجَآءَهَا الْمَخَاضُ اِلٰى جِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ» [ مریم :۲۳ ] "Then the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date palm." {’’بَسَقَ يَبْسُقُ بُسُوْقًا‘‘(ن) ’’اَلنَّخْلُ‘‘} refers to the tall and lofty nature of date palm trees. Thus, a long trunk of a date palm lying on the ground is not called "Basiq."
➋ { لَهَا طَلْعٌ نَّضِيْدٌ: ’’ طَلْعٌ ‘‘} is the cluster of date fruit that first appears and has a covering over it. {’’ نَضِيْدٌ ‘‘} means {’’مَنْضُوْدٌ‘‘}, layered. That is, inside the covering, the initial formation of date fruits is in the form of layers and rows like pomegranate seeds; when they come out of the sheath, they are no longer {’’ نَضِيْدٌ ‘‘}, but become separate from each other.
