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 15) {ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ اَنْ اَزِيْدَ:} Then he desires that I should give him more, that is, even after receiving so much, his greed for the world has not ended, rather he expects to receive even more in the Hereafter. The disbelievers used to say that if the Resurrection really takes place, then wealth and children will also be given to us there. They considered the wealth, children, and status they received in the world not as a test, but as proof that Allah is pleased with them. See Surah Maryam (77 to 80).
