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.
For the explanation of {وَ اَصْحٰبُ الشِّمَالِ … : ’’ سَمُوْمٍ ‘‘}, see the commentary of Surah At-Tur (27).
{’’ يَحْمُوْمٍ ‘‘} Black smoke. This is from {’’حُمَمٌ‘‘} (on the pattern of {’’صُرَدٌ‘‘}, meaning coal) on the pattern of {’’يَفْعُوْلٌ‘‘}.
{’’أَحَمُّ‘‘} Black. That is, the smoke in which there is both blackness and heat. Meaning, the inhabitants of Hell will not find any shade; if they do, it will be of extremely black and hot smoke, in which there will be neither coolness nor any comfort or ease. For further details, see Surah Al-Mursalat (29 to 34).
