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 70) ➊ {فِيْهِنَّ خَيْرٰتٌ حِسَانٌ: ’’ خَيْرٰتٌ ‘‘ ’’خَيْرَةٌ‘‘} is the plural of {’’خَيِّرَةٌ‘‘}, which originally has a shaddah on the "yaa." Its masculine is {’’خَيِّرٌ‘‘} (on the pattern of { فَيْعِلٌ}), in which the "yaa" has been omitted for lightness, just as {’’هَيِّنٌ، لَيِّنٌ ‘‘} and {’’مَيِّتٌ‘‘} are changed to {’’هَيْنٌ، لَيْنٌ‘‘} and {’’مَيْتٌ‘‘}. This is not the comparative {’’خَيْرٌ‘‘} which comes in contrast to {’’شَرٌّ‘‘}, because its origin is {’’ أَخْيَرُ ‘‘} is ({ أَفْعَلُ}). {’’ حِسَانٌ ‘‘ ’’حَسْنَاءُ ‘‘} is the plural of {’’ خَيْرٰتٌ ‘‘}, meaning righteous, that is, women of good character and {’’ حِسَانٌ ‘‘} beautiful women.
➋ Here it is necessary to keep in mind that it is not said here that «فِيْهِمَا خَيْرَاتٌ حِسَانٌ» (in these two gardens there are women of good character and beauty), but rather it is said: « فِيْهِنَّ خَيْرٰتٌ حِسَانٌ », meaning in all those gardens that have been mentioned, there are women of good character and beauty. This shows that the qualities mentioned here are common to the women given in all four gardens, to both the "foremost" and the "companions of the right."
