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 15) {قُلْ اِنِّيْۤ اَخَافُ … :} By making this announcement from the tongue of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), it was conveyed to all other people that if, hypothetically, even our infallible and most righteous servant were to commit disobedience, he too would not be saved from our punishment. Then how is it possible for others, after committing crimes such as denying the prophets, to sit unconcerned about our punishment? See also Surah Al-An'am (81–88) and Surah Az-Zumar (64, 65).
