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 102) ➊ The word (any covenant) {وَ مَا وَجَدْنَا لِاَكْثَرِهِمْ مِّنْ عَهْدٍ: ’’ مِنْ عَهْدٍ ‘‘} is used as a common noun, whose generality is further emphasized by {’’ مِنْ ‘‘}. It refers to any kind of covenant, whether natural, which was made at the time of {’’ اَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ ‘‘}, or religious, which they made with the prophets when requesting the removal of punishment, or customary, which they made with each other.
➋ {لَفٰسِقِيْنَ:} "disobedient" means those who do not honor any covenant, thoroughly faithless.
