سُوْرَةُ الْاَنْعَامِ
Surah Al-An'aam (6) — Ayah 104
قَدْ جَآءَكُم بَصَآئِرُ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ فَمَنْ أَبْصَرَ فَلِنَفْسِهِۦ ۖ وَمَنْ عَمِىَ فَعَلَيْهَا ۚ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ عَلَيْكُم بِحَفِيظٍ ﴿104﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Verily, proofs have come to you from your Lord, so whosoever sees, will do so for (the good of) his ownself, and whosoever blinds himself, will do so to his own harm, and I (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) am not a watcher over you.

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 104){ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ بَصَآىِٕرُ مِنْ رَّبِّكُمْ … : ’’ بَصَآىِٕرُ ‘‘} This is the plural of { ’’ بَصِيْرَةٌ ‘‘ }, which is the name for the light of the heart, just as "basarat" refers to seeing with the eyes. That is, proofs have come to you from your Lord that illuminate the heart and the eyes, as mentioned in the above verses. Now, whoever reflects upon them and believes, it is for his own benefit, and whoever does not reflect upon them and does not believe, he harms only himself. I am not a guardian over you that I could put you on the straight path whether you wish or not; giving guidance or not is solely Allah's work.
