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 22){ تِلْكَ اِذًا قِسْمَةٌ ضِيْزٰى: ’’ ضِيْزٰى ‘‘ ’’ضَازَ يَضِيْزُ ضَيْزًا‘‘} (Ḍ) is on the pattern of {’’فُعْلٰي‘‘} (with ḍammah on the letter fāʼ), which is the feminine form of {’’أَفْعَلُ‘‘} (comparative adjective). Its meaning is {’’شَدِيْدُ الضِّيْزِ‘‘} (extremely unjust). The ḍammah on the letter "Ḍād" was changed to kasrah to match the "yāʼ". That is, to ascribe children to Allah, and then to prefer sons for themselves and daughters for Allah Almighty, this is an extremely unjust division.
