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 30) {يَوْمَ نَقُوْلُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلِ امْتَلَاْتِ … :} That is, all this will happen on the day when We will say to Hell, "Are you filled?" Its most authentic explanation is the one narrated by Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace be upon him) said: [ يُلْقٰی فِي النَّارِ وَ تَقُوْلُ هَلْ مِنْ مَّزِيْدٍ حَتّٰی يَضَعَ قَدَمَهُ فَتَقُوْلُ قَطْ قَطْ ] [ بخاري، التفسیر، سورۃ قٓ، باب قولہ : « وتقول ھل من مزید» : ۴۸۴۸ ] "People will be thrown into Hell and it will keep saying, 'Is there any more?' until Allah places His Foot in it, then it will say, 'Enough, enough.'" According to some people, Hell will say this in the language of its state, but such interpretation is needed only where the reality is not possible, and here Allah has given everything a tongue, whose speech, if we do not understand, the Creator understands very well, as He said: « وَ اِنْ مِّنْ شَيْءٍ اِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهٖ وَ لٰكِنْ لَّا تَفْقَهُوْنَ تَسْبِيْحَهُمْ» [ بني إسرائیل : ۴۴ ] "And there is not a thing but that it exalts Him with His praise, but you do not understand their exalting." And He said: «وَ قَالُوْا لِجُلُوْدِهِمْ لِمَ شَهِدْتُّمْ عَلَيْنَا١ؕ قَالُوْۤا اَنْطَقَنَا اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْۤ اَنْطَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ » [ حٰمٓ السجدۃ : ۲۱ ] "And they will say to their skins, 'Why did you testify against us?' They will say, 'Allah has made us speak, the One who made everything speak.'"
