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 7){ فَلَنَقُصَّنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ بِعِلْمٍ:} That is, We were hearing and seeing everything and were not absent at the time of their deeds. See Surah Yunus (61) and Surah Mujadila (6, 7). If they remain silent or say something wrong, We Ourselves will inform with complete knowledge, that is, with proof as well, because their own limbs will bear witness. [ یٰسٓ : ۶۵۔ حٰمٓ السجدۃ : ۱۹ تا ۲۱ ] The earth will bear witness. [الزلزال : ۴ ] The Ummah of Muhammad (peace be upon him) will bear witness. [ البقرۃ : ۱۴۳ ] And in front of the keepers of Hell, they themselves will confess with their own tongues. [ الزمر : ۷۱۔ الملک : ۱۰ ] {’’ بِعِلْمٍ ‘‘} Due to the tanween, it has been translated as "complete knowledge."
