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 91) {فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ …:} Punishment came upon them in both ways, that is, { ’’ الرَّجْفَةُ ‘‘} (earthquake) as mentioned here, and {’’ الصَّيْحَةُ ‘‘} (shriek), as in Surah Hud (94). For {’’ الرَّجْفَةُ ‘‘}, see the footnotes of verse (78) of this Surah.
