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) {قَالُوْاكَذٰلِكِقَالَرَبُّكِ … :} The angels said: Indeed, you are just as you said, but we are not saying this from ourselves; rather, we are conveying to you the word of your Lord. He has said exactly this. Surely, He is perfect in wisdom and knowledge; nothing is outside His knowledge, nor is there any flaw or mistake in any of His actions.
