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 4,3){ وَ السّٰبِحٰتِ سَبْحًا …… : ’’ سَبَحَ يَسْبَحُ سَبْحًا‘‘} (F) To swim. {’’ السّٰبِحٰتِ ‘‘} Those who swim. {’’ سَبْحًا ‘‘} The verbal noun is for emphasis; in the translation, this meaning is conveyed by the words "with great speed." The intended meaning is those angels who, in compliance with the divine commands, swiftly swim through the heavens and surpass one another.
