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 80) ➊ { وَ لُوْطًا:} When Ibrahim (peace be upon him) came out of the fire safely, Lut (peace be upon him) believed in him. Despite witnessing such a great miracle, when his people did not believe, Ibrahim (peace be upon him) chose to migrate from Iraq. See Surah Al-Ankabut (26). With him were his wife Sarah and Lut (peace be upon them). Allah Almighty sent Lut (peace be upon him) to the people of Sodom, who lived somewhere near the Dead Sea, and it was a very populated and fertile place.
➋ { اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهٖۤ:} The people of Sodom are called the people of Lut (peace be upon him) because he was sent to them, otherwise he had come from Iraq, or perhaps he had an in-law relationship with them, because if he had any blood relation there, he would not have expressed such helplessness as mentioned in Surah Hud (80).
