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 202) {وَ اِخْوَانُهُمْ يَمُدُّوْنَهُمْ فِي الْغَيِّ … :} That is, in contrast to those who fear Allah, these disbelievers and hypocrites, who are brothers of the devils in their wickedness and evil nature, are such that their brother devils keep increasing and dragging them further into misguidance, and leave no stone unturned in leading them astray. (Ibn Kathir)
